   JLR Attack Highlights Need for Secure Software Development in Manufacturing

   The Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) cyberattack caused significant operational disruption, shutting down production for weeks and costing the British economy over $2 billion. The attack originated in the supply chain through compromised credentials of third-party contractors. This incident underscores the critical need for manufacturers to adopt secure software development life cycle (SSDLC) practices to prevent similar attacks. The attack affected up to 5,000 organizations and led to job losses, necessitating a $2 billion government loan to keep JLR operational. The incident highlights vulnerabilities in the supply chain and the importance of secure development practices in preventing such devastating attacks.
