Supply Chain Attack

Supply Chain Attack — A compromise that reaches a target through software, services, vendors or other dependencies.

Why Supply Chain Attack matters in finance

Financial firms rely on complex technology ecosystems, so a shared supplier can create concentrated exposure.

Security is also a market-infrastructure question

In financial services, supply chain attack should be understood in relation to operational continuity, data integrity, payments, market infrastructure and interconnected dependencies. A control can be technically effective while still leaving material resilience risk if critical services cannot continue or recover during disruption.
