On Tuesday, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) published a handbook offering guidance to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) on best practices for securing their cyber supply chain. The guide provides methods and guidance to tackle the most common and highest priority risks faced by SMBs.

The new guide, Securing Small and Medium-Sized Business (SMB) Supply Chains: A Resource Handbook to Reduce Information and Communication Technology Risks, was created by the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) Task Force. Included in the handbook is an overview of the highest supply chain risk categories commonly faced by ICT SMBs, including cyber risks. It also contains several use cases and applicable resources to assist SMBs in identifying the supply chain security practices they can implement to enhance their security. The handbook is intended for firms that may have limited finances. Additionally, it offers tips for vetting potential ICT products before buying a specific type. Access the full handbook below.
