We assigned this story to help our audience understand that their enterprise security was only as good as that of their partners, suppliers and anyone else whose systems connected to theirs. The author calls out examples of recent high-profile attacks caused by suppliers, cites recent research showing how widespread the problem is, outlines the risks, and offers prescriptive advice for managing those risks.
