Effects of Cyber Supply Chain Attacks and Mitigation Strategies

The world of Cybersecurity today is becoming increasingly complex. There are many new Threat Variants that are coming out, but many of them are just tweaked versions of some of the oldest ones, such as Phishing and Social Engineering. In today's world, Threat Variants are becoming more complex, more covert, and stealthier. Thus, it makes it almost impossible to detect them on time before the actual damage is done. One such example of this is what is known as Supply Chain Attacks. What makes this different from the other Threat Variants is that through just one point of entry, the Cyberattacker can deploy a Malicious Payload and impact thousands of victims. This is what this book is about, and it covers the following: Important Cybersecurity Concepts An introduction to Supply Chain Attacks and its impact on the Critical Infrastructure in the United States Examples of Supply Chain Attacks, most notably those of Solar Winds and Crowd Strike.
