As more details have emerged about the breach into federal agencies involving SolarWinds Orion, senior administration officials and analysts have started calling the incident a supply chain attack. While the government continues to assess the scope and scale of that breach, the White House is now directing various executive departments to assess the risks in their respective supply chains.
The executive order calls for both 100-day immediate reviews of certain products such as semiconductors and high-capacity batteries as well as year-long sectoral supply chain reviews of the defense, health, transportation and agriculture industries, among others.
Tata Consultancy Services has launched SaaS based Automated Vulnerability Remediation platform that helps enterprises stay one step ahead of malicious attacks by identifying and prioritizing vulnerabilities in their software libraries and proactively fixing them.
The Automated Vulnerability Remediation platform helps enterprises build and execute a contextual, risk focused and effective vulnerability management program, helping them decide on the right remediation approach across assets, across common vulnerabilities and patching. The platform also helps enterprises set vulnerability tolerance levels.
The platform provides inventory analysis, building a business and technical context around assets and driving consolidation; helps prioritize risks and vulnerabilities according to the business unit, location and asset type; tracks SLAs and KPIs, identifying and analyzing assets which don t comply with internal SLAs; and automates vulnerability remediation.
