Asian organizations are enhancing cybersecurity requirements for suppliers, driven by a surge in third-party-related breaches. Kioxia Holdings has begun automated scans of its 3,000 suppliers' cybersecurity postures, mandating improvements or risking termination. Singapore's financial and cybersecurity agencies proposed a national cybersecurity certification for government vendors. This shift aims to mitigate the significant number of attacks targeting suppliers, particularly in manufacturing, which accounted for 40% of all attacks in the Asia-Pacific region last year.
