As was recently illustrated by the Microsoft hack, third-party and supply chain risk is a threat that every business is vulnerable to in our interconnected world. But not all of your vendors, service providers, or partners take information security seriously, and that creates risk for your business.
Over 90% of US businesses experienced a cybersecurity incident like a data breach in 2020 because of a third-party or supply chain risk. These businesses didn’t make a cybersecurity misstep themselves – another company created vulnerabilities for them. Often these are vulnerabilities that you won’t even know about until it’s too late.
Third-party and supply chain risk will continue to be a growing problem in 2021 and beyond. The data that cybercriminals glean from data breaches inevitably makes its way into dark web markets and data dumps, providing ample fuel for future cyberattacks. Data breaches exposed 36 billion records in the first half of 2020 alone, feeding plenty of cybercrime.
Are you positioned to gain the kind of intelligence that helps you get a clear picture of how stolen data may put your business at risk? If you’ve got Dark Web ID, you are. Dark Web ID sends up a red flag to warn you when your company’s credentials make an appearance on the dark web, enabling your security team to take care of that vulnerability before cybercriminals can exploit it.
This is just one increasing risk factor in 2020. As the fallout from the global pandemic settles, more risk from dark web sources will become a problem for businesses. Even cybercriminals have to work a little harder these days to make ends meet. Don’t let them snatch your piece of the pie – add dark web monitoring today to stay in the know about your company’s risk.

As another huge bomb hits the cybersecurity world in the form of the recent Microsoft Exchange hack, it’s a good time to take a look at third-party and supply chain risk to see how it can impact businesses and how it can be mitigated. Over 90% of US businesses experienced a cybersecurity incident like a data breach in 2020 because of a third party or supply chain fault.
It’s important to prepare for this risk because it’s less of a possibility and more of an eventuality in today’s ever more connected world. Those connections are one of the reasons why it has ramped up so steadily. As more and more information about people and businesses accumulates in dark web markets and data dumps, that provides fuel for cyberattacks that perpetuate the cycle, feeding the market. More than 60% of the information available now on the Dark Web could damage businesses, and data breaches exposed 36 billion records in just the first half of 2020.
More than 60% of data breaches are a result of exposure through third party or supply chain risk. Unfortunately, any business partner, supplier, or service provider with sloppy cybersecurity practices can put an innocent business at risk by doing things that make it easy for data to walk out the door, like the 17% of companies that have all of their sensitive files accessible to all of their employees – or the 41% of US companies that allow employees unrestricted access to sensitive data.
Also included in that risk calculus, the siren song of making money on the dark web in a challenging economy has increased the possibility of data being snatched for nefarious purposes. An estimated 30% of data breaches involve internal actors with ill intent, including employees moonlighting by selling data or access on the Dark Web.
2020 was not a friendly year for businesses when it came to cybersecurity, especially in the supply chain. About 80% of firms responding to a recent survey said that they’d experienced an increase in cyberattacks in 2020. Supply chain cybersecurity risk warnings increased right along with surging cybercrime, up by 80% in Q2 2020 alone. Two in five SMBs were impacted by a cyberattack in 2020.
Third-party and supply chain risk is growing more dangerous for every business as cybercriminals maximize on past breaches to create new ones. Find great ways to reduce third-party and supply chain risk in our new eBook “Breaking Up with Third Party and Supply Chain Risk”. You’ll discover:
