Stephen Boyer, CTO and co-founder at BitSight Technologies noted that the situation points out once again the weakness of supply chains.
“Post the Ticketmaster breach, organizations must incorporate the lessons learned,” he said via email. “This breach once again highlights the increasing vulnerability in the extended ecosystem that comes through exploitation through third parties. Businesses need to continuously assess and monitor the security posture and performance of its partners in order to gain visibility in the changing threat landscape, and to prioritize risk mitigating actions.”
