The recent ransomware attack on the retailer, Marks and Spencer (M&S) is a stark reminder of just how exposed modern businesses are to cyber threats, not only within their own walls, but also through the very partners and suppliers they rely on for their daily operations.
While M&S was not breached directly, the vulnerability of a third-party supplier provided an unintended entry-point that ultimately impeded operations, disrupted logistics and wiped hundreds of millions off its market value, further underscoring the shared responsibility of ensuring security across modern digital ecosystems in a business.
