Supply chain security plays a critical role in protecting data and maintaining trust. However, many organisations place too much confidence in their suppliers’ ability to manage cybersecurity effectively. This overconfidence can leave serious gaps in security oversight. When companies assume their vendors are secure without validation, they risk exposing their own systems and customers to potential threats.

As digital transformation accelerates, so do the risks. Remote workforces, cloud-first strategies, and third-party integrations have eroded the traditional perimeter, giving attackers more entry points than ever before.

Cybercriminals don’t play by the rules. They look for weaknesses, exploit blind spots, and strike where no one’s watching. That’s why understanding how attackers think is one of the most effective ways to protect your business.

Many business leaders believe their company is “secure enough” because they haven’t suffered a breach yet. But cybercriminals don’t wait for signs of weakness. They look for them, and they often find them where businesses assume IT has it covered.
