Cybersecurity Ventures predicted that global damage costs resulting from software supply chain attacks would reach $60 billion USD by 2025, and $138 billion by 2031.
The potential monetary loss isn’t the headline, the reason behind the spike is. Cybercriminals are no longer tampering with isolated packages; they’re moving deeper into build pipelines, registries, model sources, and automation systems, bypassing the traditional gates DevSecOps, AppSec, and security leaders rely on.
Gartner projected that by the end of 2025, nearly 45 percent of companies were expected to have faced at least one software supply-chain incident.
A recent deep-drive article published by Ox Security explains why the past year represents a turning point for software supply-chain risk, and what teams must do now to regain lifecycle-wide control before these upstream weaknesses become downstream incidents.
