“Supply chain compromise and third-party breaches are difficult to deal with. Without monitoring customer data leaks outside their own network, businesses are reliant on partners to report breaches. Air India’s involvement in this SITA supply chain attack shows that no matter how good your own network security, someone else may lose your data and bad actors are ready to exploit this. Other organisations which partner with SITA should initiate monitoring for breaches of their customer data as a result.

Businesses should continually review security and processes with their suppliers; requiring ISO certification and clearly documented standards as a minimum. Watermarking data can help companies to identify third party breaches faster and enable them to take action sooner.
