Introduction:

In today's interconnected world, supply chain attacks have emerged as one of the most significant cybersecurity threats facing businesses. These attacks target vulnerabilities in the supplier network, infiltrating organizations through trusted partners and suppliers. In New Zealand, small businesses are particularly vulnerable to these risks due to their reliance on third-party service providers and vendors. This article discusses the dangers of supply chain attacks and how Just In Tech MSP's comprehensive service offerings help protect small businesses in New Zealand.

The Risks of Supply Chain Attacks:

Supply chain attacks exploit the weak links in an organization's supplier network, gaining access to sensitive data and systems through trusted relationships. These attacks can have far-reaching consequences, including data breaches, financial losses, and reputational damage. Some high-profile examples of supply chain attacks in New Zealand include the NotPetya ransomware attack in 2017, which affected shipping giant Maersk and disrupted operations at the Port of Tauranga.

Small businesses in New Zealand often lack the resources and expertise to address these complex security challenges independently. As a result, they are more susceptible to supply chain attacks, making it crucial for them to partner with a trusted managed services provider (MSP) to bolster their security posture.
