Assume Breach Mentality vs. Supply Chain Attacks in 2024 | UpGuard

**Executive Summary:** This advisory recommends adopting an "assume breach" mentality to mitigate supply-chain attacks, explaining how organizations should harden people, processes, and technology (user education and logging, policy and least-privilege enforcement, incident response planning, layered security controls, and vendor attack-surface monitoring), cites SolarWinds to illustrate the threat, and promotes UpGuard's vendor risk and data-leak detection services as practical solutions.
