“…One of the most significant vulnerabilities lies in software development and distribution. Malicious actors can exploit vulnerabilities in software, including those in third-party libraries or open-source components, to inject malware or backdoors (Herr & Armbrust, 2015;Martínez & Durán, 2021). This risk is compounded by the fact that a single compromised component can affect multiple products or services downstream in the supply chain.…”

This review paper explores the multifaceted realm of cybersecurity within IT supply chains, addressing the intricate challenges posed by digital vulnerabilities, high-profile cyber incidents, and emerging threats. It highlights the criticality of continuous risk assessment, the implementation of international security standards, and the necessity for enhanced management of third-party vendors. The paper also delves into advanced technological solutions like blockchain, AI, and machine learning for bolstering security, advocating for best practices including the zero-trust model, regular employee training, and secure software development. Emphasizing a proactive over a reactive approach, the paper underscores the evolving nature of cyber threats and the imperative for adaptive strategies. It calls for concerted efforts from businesses, policymakers, and IT professionals to prioritize and continuously refine cybersecurity measures in safeguarding IT supply chains against future threats. Keywords: IT Supply Chain, Cybersecurity, Risk Management, Blockchain, Zero-Trust Model, Artificial Intelligence.

Abstract-The huge number of malware introduced each day demands methods and tools for their automated analyses. Complex and distributed infrastructure of malicious software and new sophisticated techniques used to obstruct the analyses are discussed in the paper based on real-life malware evolution observed for a long time. Their impact on both toolsets and methods are presented based on practical development of systems for malware analyses and new features for existing tools.
