enterprises defend against cyber attacks and other threats to their

Mandiant M-Trends 2022 report shows that global supply chains
remain an attractive target for threat actors who seek to take
advantage of trusted business-to-business relationships, as
attacking the supply chain provides an opportunity to pivot from
one supplier network into multiple customer networks at once. In
fact, when the initial infection vector was identified, supply
chain compromise accounted for 17% of intrusions investigated by
Mandiant in 2021, compared to less than 1% in 2020.
Further, new data from Interos’ 2022 Annual Global Supply Chain
Report reveals that organizations have been impacted by on average
three significant supply chain disruptions within the last 12
months (not including the Ukraine war) – costing a combined $182
million in lost revenue. Cyber attacks account for $37 million of
that figure. Additionally, the overwhelming majority (91%) of
executives reported that their organizations had experienced supply
chain disruptions from Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers in their
extended supply chain.
“Interos is focused on helping organizations ensure operational
resilience; continuously delivering in-depth analysis on
criticality for risk, and risk management,” said Marshall Heilman,
Chief Technology Officer, Mandiant. “Together with Interos,
Mandiant will be able to proactively problem solve with a company
that is leading the way in ensuring organizations of all sizes
understand key attack vectors across supply chain, threat actors
and nation state threats.”
The partnership announcement follows a recent alert from the
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) warning of
an increase in malicious cyber activity targeting managed service
providers (MSPs). The advisory also recommended MSPs to understand
and proactively manage their supply chain risk.
“The CISA warning is more evidence that existing supply chain
risk management systems were not designed for today’s complex risk
environment,” said Nishant Gupta, Chief Technology Officer,
Interos. “Our collaboration with Mandiant will provide multi-factor
risk intelligence to help commercial and government organizations
better protect targeted entities in their third-party relationships
to insulate them from disruption, ransomware, and IP theft. We’re
proud to partner with Mandiant to help leaders discover hidden
business relationships and exposure to cyber vulnerabilities.”
