BlackBerry's recent study reveals that over 75% of software supply chains faced cyberattacks in the past year. Conducted in April 2024, the survey involved 1,000 senior IT and cybersecurity leaders. Findings indicate that 51% of companies could recover from breaches within a week, a slight drop from two years ago, while 40% took a month to recover, an increase from before. Notably, 74% of the attacks occurred through unmonitored or unknown supply chain members. Despite measures like data encryption and multi-factor authentication, companies still suffered financial, data, reputational, and operational impacts. Confidence in supply chain cybersecurity remains high, with 68% of respondents trusting their suppliers' vulnerability management. However, challenges such as lack of technical understanding and visibility hinder regular software inventories. Additionally, while 78% track the impact on end users, only 65% inform their customers due to reputation concerns and resource constraints.
