Answer

IEEE:

  • Sensitive data being exposed or lost.
    • In a software supply chain, sensitive data may be passed throughout the chain. Security threats involve loss or exposure of this data, such as customer credit card details.
  • Cloud technology.
    • Data sharing in the cloud might jeopardize the privacy of the data within the chain.
  • Third-party vendors.
    • Third-party vendors’ code solutions might not provide sufficient cybersecurity and risk being a potential subject to data breaches.
