How to Protect Your Cloud Environment from Supply Chain Attacks

This webinar recap from Wiz examines cloud supply chain risks, contrasting software-based threats (e.g., third-party agents, AMIs, container images, and hidden components like OMIGOD) with identity-based risks stemming from excessive third-party permissions. Citing analysis across 1,500 AWS accounts, it highlights the prevalence of overprivileged vendor access and the resulting account takeover exposure. The post recommends a cloud supply chain strategy centered on detection (asset and permissions visibility), certification (vendor review and approval), and risk reduction (cloud asset management and least-privilege access).
