Purpose

This homework is intended to help you learn to solidify, reflect on, and find applications for the topics.

Overview

The number of supply-chain attacks has been rising every passing day. They target the weakest link in a supply chain and hack into even the most secure companies by first hacking a less-secure supplier in the chain. The 2020 United States federal government data breach - also known as the SolarWinds breach - was an example of a supply chain attack. It was the worst cyber-espionage incident ever suffered by the U.S. because of the long duration and the sensitivity and high profile of the targets.

Watch the following YouTube video to gain insight into supply-chain attacks:
