Case Study

Supply Chain Attacks: Kaseya and More

A software vendor suffers an attack and thousands downstream bear the brunt.

The Rise of Supply Chain Attacks

At the end of 2020, it was SolarWinds and Microsoft Exchange. In May 2021, it was the Colonial Pipeline. For the 4th of July in 2021, it was Kaseya. The Department of Homeland Security, CISA (Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency) and the FBI distinguish supply chain attacks as events where software is compromised through cyber attacks, insider threats, or other malign activities at any stage throughout the software’s entire lifecycle. More simply put, these are a type of cyberattack where criminals target software vendors or IT service companies with the added objective of impacting their clients
