How the enterprise supply chain has created a global attack surface
For years, organisations have treated cyber security as something that happens within their own walls. Protect the network, secure the endpoints, monitor the environment. Job done. Security was architected like a moat and castle, but today the model is no longer effective. Today, the real exposure sits outside the organisation. It sits in third parties,…
