Working to Secure the Technology Supply Chain (Patrick Bohart, Nextgov)

Application-based attacks like the Colonial Pipeline ransomware hack capture headlines but security pros know that cyber criminals are not stopping with application-based attacks and will continue to aim deeper into the heart of computing by targeting operating systems, firmware and hardware.

This inevitable trend has created a need for security solutions that not only focus below the OS in areas like firmware and software, but also that reach deep into the technology supply chain. Attacks early in the chain can have a profound impact on technology consumers, including government organizations that rely on technology to carry out their missions and store and transmit sensitive data.
