Closing the supply chain security gap: SSDLC evaluation checklist

Supply chain attacks have become one of the most critical cyberthreats facing organizations today, with 30% of all breaches in 2024 involving a third party. Traditional supplier evaluations don’t sufficiently assess where most vulnerabilities originate: the software development process.  

The Acronis SSDLC evaluation framework provides business executives, MSPs and procurement security teams with a structured approach to assess vendor security across six critical dimensions, from governance and risk management to maintenance and monitoring. Make evidence-based supplier decisions to reduce your risk of large-scale supply chain attacks.
