The correct answer is Supply Chain. This scenario highlights the vulnerability that arises from dependence on a third-party service provider, which is a key component of the supply chain. An Insider Threat involves risks from within the organization, Zero-day refers to previously unknown vulnerabilities, and Misconfiguration pertains to incorrect setup of systems.
