Navigating New Cyber Threats: The Shift from Third-Party Vendors to U.S. Tariffs in Supply Chain Security
Apr 16, 2025
Artificial Intelligence / Software Security
Introduction
Cyber threats aimed at supply chains are becoming increasingly concerning for businesses across various sectors. As companies deepen their reliance on third-party vendors, cloud services, and global logistics, cybercriminals are seizing opportunities to exploit vulnerabilities in these interconnected systems. By first targeting a third-party vendor with unnoticed security flaws, attackers can establish a foothold, using these weaknesses to penetrate the networks of primary business partners. This allows them to move laterally through vital systems, ultimately accessing sensitive data, financial assets, intellectual property, or even operational controls. Recent high-profile incidents, such as the 2024 ransomware attack on Change Healthcare—one of the largest health payment processing firms—illustrate how attackers can disrupt supply chain operations and compromise millions of patients’ protected health information (PHI), stealing up to 6TB of data.
