““As we have now seen with the early devastation of the SolarWinds Orion debacle, the risk of even highly trusted mainstream applications is very real. We have only just begun to see the breadth and depth of the follow-on attacks. The FireEye compromise and theft of their tools will also likely have long-lasting impacts as they are leveraged against companies unaware of the issues and/or unable or unwilling to remediate against them. There will be greater distrust and IT departments will have to find a better way to watch the watchers. Discussions about and actions around supply chain risk will increase greatly. They will impact current and new business relationships and create opportunity for the channel to understand and remediate the negative impacts.” – Nikkhoo”
