Third-party security issues are the biggest threat businesses are facing, according to a new report.
Over a third (35.5%) of all breaches in 2024 were related to third parties, with retail and hospitality sectors being the most heavily hit.
The report also highlighted the diversification of attack surfaces, with less than half (46.75%) of third-party breaches involving technology products and services.
Ransomware attacks starting through third parties have increased, with more than two in five (41.4%) ransomware attacks originating from them.
