The Effects of Cyber Supply Chain Attacks and Mitigation Strategies
暫譯: 網路供應鏈攻擊的影響與緩解策略

The world about a week ago witnessed what is probably the largest Cyber Supply Chain Attack ever known to humankind. The magnitude of this attack only merely underscores the sheer level of interconnectivity that exists today. Because of this, the chances of this happening many more times is very high. For instance, all it takes is just one weakness, vulnerability, or a backdoor for the Cyberattacker to exploit, and from there, deploy the malicious payload which will then be sent to thousands of victims worldwide.

This book will focus not only upon the two previous Supply Chain Attacks have recently happened, but it will also focus upon the Critical Infrastructure here in the United States. This includes the food supply chain, the water supply system the national power grid, and even the nuclear power facilities. Many of these establishments have been built with technology that was developed in the late 1960s and the early 1970s. Many of the vendors that built these technologies are now, for the most part, no longer in existence. Many of these are ICS and SCADA systems, and as a result, they also have many vulnerabilities from which a Cyberattacker can penetrate into a launch malicious payload, which will result in yet another form of a Cyber Supply Chain Attack.

Therefore, this book will focus upon the following:

*A Review Of the Critical Infrastructure of the United States

*A Review Of the Solar Winds Supply Chain Attack

*A Review As To How A Malicious Payload Can Created And Inserted, using SQL Injection Attacks as the primary example.

*A Critical Examination As To How Supply Chain Attacks Can Be Mitigated.
