Complex Chips Make Security More Difficult

Fig. 1: The lifecycle of supply chain attacks can be divided into two Advanced Persistence Threat (APT) attacks. The first one targets one or more suppliers. Once the malware enters through the back door, the second attack will target the customers’ assets. This type of cyberattack is more difficult to detect because the customers already trust the suppliers. Source: ENISA
