The Airbus cyberattack shows how important secure software usage and supply chain security is

In a recent cybersecurity incident Airbus fell victim to a cyberattack originating from a Turkish Airlines employee’s compromised account. What led to the account's compromise? The use of pirated software by the employee. This event once again demonstrates the importance of using safe software and maintaining supply chain security in the linked digital environment of today.?

The cyberattack on Airbus highlights the rising worry over the use of unauthorized or illegal use of software. The employee of Turkish Airlines unintentionally introduced weaknesses by using the hacked software, giving the so-called hacker 'USDoD' a way inside Airbus.?

The Challenge of Supply Chain Security?

Beyond the compromised software issue, the Airbus hack reveals the vulnerability of supply chains. Businesses rely on intricate networks of partners and suppliers, which leaves them open to assaults through these interrelated channels. Cybercriminals increasingly exploit these vulnerabilities to gain access to valuable targets, as seen in this case.?
