Give three examples of three potential security threats related to the software supply chain and describe them.
Answer
IEEE:
- Sensitive data being exposed or lost.
- In a software supply chain, sensitive data may be passed throughout the chain. Security threats involve loss or exposure of this data, such as customer credit card details.
- Cloud technology.
- Data sharing in the cloud might jeopardize the privacy of the data within the chain.
- Third-party vendors.
- Third-party vendors’ code solutions might not provide sufficient cybersecurity and risk being a potential subject to data breaches.
