#vendorrisk — Public Fediverse posts

Anthropic spent months carefully gatekeeping access to Mythos, their most capable AI model, while limiting access only to a small group of vetted companies for defensive cybersecurity testing. Then a private online forum got in anyway, through a third-party vendor, on the same day the controlled program was announced.

That's the part worth sitting with. Not the model. The vendor. Third-party vendors... It's always the the 3td party vendor. 🤦🏻‍♂️ You can build the most carefully controlled AI release program in the industry, and one weak link in your supply chain burns it down. We keep having this conversation about AI safety and regulation, and we keep forgetting that the threat surface isn't just the model. It's every partner, every integration, every environment touching it. 🔗 Everything's connected. Everything.

🤔 Ask yourself: how many third parties have access to your most sensitive systems right now? Do you actually know?
⚠️ Vendor risk management isn't a compliance checkbox. It's where your security posture actually lives or dies.

iQ Credit Union has disclosed that a ransomware incident at its vendor, Marquis Software Solutions, exposed personal information of over 111K Washington residents. The attacker accessed files containing names, SSNs, dates of birth, addresses, and partial financial data after exploiting a SonicWall firewall.

Identity protection services are being provided, and individuals are advised to monitor accounts and consider credit freezes.

How should financial institutions rethink vendor-risk strategies moving forward?

Recent reports highlight a notable surge in supply chain attacks, with cybercriminals targeting third-party vendors as a gateway to infiltrate larger organizations. This shift emphasizes a critical vulnerability in cybersecurity strategies, often overlooked by companies focused solely on their internal defenses.

Key takeaways from the latest developments:
1. Increased Targeting of Third Parties: Attackers are exploiting the weaker security protocols of vendors, which often have less stringent measures in place.
2. Integration of AI in Attacks: Cybercriminals are leveraging AI tools to automate and enhance the efficacy of their attacks, making them more sophisticated and harder to detect.
3. Regulatory Pressure: Compliance with regulations like GDPR and CCPA is becoming increasingly demanding, urging organizations to fortify their supply chain security.

To safeguard your organization:
- Conduct Regular Vendor Assessments: Regularly evaluate your third-party vendors' security practices. Look for compliance certifications and historical incident reports.
- Implement Zero Trust Architecture: Adopting a Zero Trust approach ensures that trust is never assumed, and verification processes are in place for every connection.
- Train Employees on Supply Chain Risks: Awareness is key. Conduct training sessions to ensure that your team understands the implications of supply chain vulnerabilities.

As cybersecurity threats evolve, so must our strategies. How prepared is your organization to handle potential supply chain attacks? Share your thoughts or experiences below!
