Limited visibility of their software supply chains is leaving UK public sector organizations vulnerable, with more than half exposed to cyberattacks in the last twelve months, according to research from Blackberry.
Half (51%) of UK IT decision-makers across healthcare, education, and government organizations received notification of an attack or vulnerability in their software supply chain in the last twelve months – and 42% took more than a week to recover.
In its report, Blackberry found that operating systems, at 38%, and web browsers at 17% caused the biggest problems. The impact of a software supply chain attack was worst in terms of financial loss at 71%, with two-thirds citing data loss and reputational damage, half citing operational impact and a third citing intellectual property loss.
“Pressure is increasing to address software supply chain security vulnerabilities, which is a key focus for the UK government’s ‘Code of Practice for Software Vendors’, given the huge risk they pose to the services that UK citizens rely upon daily,” said Keiron Holidome, VP of UKI and Emerging Markets at Blackberry.
