Oct 16, 2026 By Martin Kraemer In KnowBe4
In part one of this NIS2 series, we examined why vendor questionnaires fall short and how third-party breaches impact downstream organizations across Europe. But what happens after a supplier containment phase ends? The long-term danger lies in how attackers leverage exfiltrated supplier data to launch hyper-targeted social engineering attacks against an organization’s employees.

Oct 16, 2026 By TJ Banasik In Elastic
The rules of cyber defense have shifted. Threat actors are increasingly using advanced automation to accelerate reconnaissance, evade static signatures, and orchestrate rapid intrusions across critical infrastructure, software supply chains, and insider pathways. This has created a critical velocity gap: when adversaries compress attack timelines from days to minutes and defenders rely on manual triage across fragmented legacy tools, the defense falls behind.
