Threat Models: Supply Chain Attack

The blog entry explores supply chain attacks, a type of cybersecurity threat where attackers compromise a single source to gain access to multiple targets by moving laterally. These attacks are typically orchestrated by sophisticated external attackers, such as organized cybercrime syndicates or nation-state actors, who exploit vulnerabilities like inadequate logging and monitoring, misuse of existing accounts, and lack of data encryption. Key attack vectors include remote administrative management capabilities. To mitigate these risks, the blog suggests implementing vendor due diligence, emergency access control, secured log archival, data encryption, backup safeguards, detailed logging, and monitoring. An incident response plan is also recommended, emphasizing the importance of encryption in protecting sensitive information. The text is part of a series on threat models, with future installments addressing threats from accidental cloud misconfiguration.
