ARE WE HEADING FOR AN EPIDEMIC OF ATTACKS IN THE SUPPLY CHAINS

After UBER, GEMINI EXCHANGE has just been the victim of a cyber attack that compromised more than 5.7 million customer email addresses.

To understand the vulnerability of supply chains, you need to know more about them.

When you know what a supply chain is and how it works, it is easy to see why, if they do not take precautions, they are the first targets of choice for hackers.

The very concept of a supply chain is the creation of a network that brings together the different actors in an economic activity, from the producer of the service or goods to the consumer, who may be another economic actor or an individual.

In fact, the supply chain plays a role similar to that of a platform to which the participants have free access. And it is precisely this freedom of access that attackers use to spread their viruses.

Once the network is penetrated, the damage caused by the viruses used can be colossal. We still remember the attacks on SolarWind and Kaseya and their disastrous consequences for their customers.

In fact, we must keep in mind that cyber security is everyone's business. We have to tell ourselves over and over again that in the Internet world we cannot trust anyone and we can only rely on ourselves to protect ourselves.

So, when someone's data is stolen, there is a strong chance that this person could in turn be a prime target for attackers: There is no small profit!

But it is above all up to the supply chains, to the platforms that give free access to their network, to take precautionary measures, if not by stopping all types of attacks, at least by limiting their possible consequences, by protecting their sensitive data and the ones of their customers, and this is not at all impossible.

A judicious choice of the first barrier of protection, the firewall, a function that a quality firewall must be able to fulfill effectively, and a good secure architecture of the internal network of the supply chain make it possible to avoid these hecatombs.

Hospital Security in Question In a recent article titled "Cyberattacks: Public and Private Hospitals, Is the Worst Yet to Come?", Jean-Michel Tavernier1 provides a detailed analysis of why the medical sector is a prime target for hackers. He highlights the vulnerabilities that allow hackers to access sensitive data such as medical records, insurance information, and payment details. The compromise of this data can have severe consequences for individuals' privacy, financial security, and even personal safety, not to mention the financial damage to institutions and the risks to the quality of care provided to patients. System Vulnerabilities Tavernier points to the "excessive interdependence of the entire healthcare chain." Hospitals collaborate with a multitude of interconnected providers and partners, creating numerous opportunities for attackers. He suggests managing the attack surface (ASM), which means controlling and securing all entry points where unautho...

ERRARE HUMANUM EST The Inescapable Nature of Human Error and Its Implications in Cybersecurity To err is human; one could even say it is a defining characteristic of humanity. Who has never made a mistake, whether out of distraction, ignorance, or because it was provoked? No one is immune to making mistakes, and most of the time, they are forgivable, even if their consequences can be very damaging. However, the fundamental, unforgivable error is doing nothing to avoid situations that lead to mistakes. Thus, to minimize errors due to distraction, one should avoid multitasking (for example, a surgeon operating should not be distracted by a nurse recounting her latest adventures) and refrain from performing actio...
