One Vendor, 1,000 Victims

Recent ransomware attacks against major vendors such as PowerSchool, Change Healthcare, and CDK Global revealed widespread supply chain vulnerabilities affecting thousands of downstream customers. These incidents highlighted how compromising a single vendor can create cascading exposure across multiple organizations and sectors. The attacks demonstrated the need for stronger vendor security practices and customer oversight of third-party risk.

Why it matters: Organizations using these vendors faced direct operational disruption and data exposure, making vendor security assessment and incident response planning critical priorities for practitioners managing supply chain dependencies.
