Keypoints
- Organizations are strengthening external defenses, prompting attackers to target third-party dependencies.
- Supply chain attacks involve inserting malicious code into trusted software or updates to gain access.
- Notable threat actors like APT29, Sandworm, Lazarus Group, and Barium have used supply chain techniques in major intrusions.
- Detecting these attacks requires monitoring suspicious process creation and decoding malicious packages within development environments.
- Securing the software supply chain is critical, involving validation of sources and vigilant dependency management.
