UK s National Cyber Security Centre highlights the success of its Active Cyber Defence (ACD) program

For those unfamiliar with Sunburst, the exploit compromised the product development cycle through a patch rather than just through the product’s security. All major applications require maintenance, and maintenance is accomplished through updates and patches. These patches correct previous flaws and close off previous vulnerabilities from attack. A supply chain attack exploits this dependency by inserting malicious code into updates and patches.
