An organization is compromised after an external company that provides critical services is breached. This is an example of which type of supply chain vulnerability?
This is a service provider vulnerability because the breach occurred through an external company providing services to the organization. When service providers are compromised, they can inadvertently expose their clients to security risks. This differs from hardware or software supplier vulnerabilities, which involve flaws in the physical devices or applications supplied to the organization.
