Securing the Human Capital Supply Chain

What if your next “trusted” interaction is the attack vector?

Remote work and digital-first operations have created a new enterprise risk category - human capital supply chain attacks - where adversaries exploit people, not code, to gain access, influence decisions, or embed insider threats.

This white paper defines the human layer and explains why traditional security architectures miss attacks that arrive through interviews, help desks, and everyday digital collaboration.

This white paper reveals:

• Why the human capital supply chain has become an HR and security problem
• What the human layer is, and how it expands enterprise attack surface beyond employee accounts and devices
• Real-world patterns of identity abuse that bypass malware, exploits, and “classic” controls
• A new model for treating human identity and behavior as continuously verifiable signalsStrategic guidance for extending Zero Trust to defend the human layer
