Haydn explains why supply chains remain one of the largest blind spots in cybersecurity, despite years of warnings and a growing list of high-profile incidents. We explore how attackers increasingly target smaller suppliers that lack the resources and expertise of larger enterprises, using them as stepping stones to reach critical infrastructure, government agencies, and major corporations.
