Trey Herr, director of the Cyber Statecraft Initiative at the Atlantic Council
The threat posed by software supply chain attacks is growing, but organizations can take steps to minimize the risks.
Trey Herr, co-author of a study of more than 100 supply chain compromises that was released last year by the Atlantic Council, says attackers, particularly state-affiliated ones, look to compromise roots of trust in the software supply chain.
“We think about software supply chain attacks as being unusual or exotic,” says Herr, director of the Atlantic Council’s Cyber Statecraft Initiative. “Really, there’s been a tremendous number of them over the last decade.”
