Lapsus $: The human element as an attack vector While nation-states exploit software supply chains, financially motivated groups like Lapsus $ exploit the human supply chain. In 2022, the group successfully breached identity management giant Okta. Their method was not a complex technical exploit, but a simple, effective compromise of a third-party contractor’ s account.
This highlights the acute risk of the extended enterprise, a concern echoed by the 86 % of leaders who worry about inadequate security controls for contractors and third parties, according to Cisco’ s research.
