The company you hired to protect you just got hacked. That is not a hypothetical, it is the defining threat pattern of the past 18 months. 

In this episode Darnley breaks down why cybersecurity vendors, including some of the most recognized names in the space, have become the highest-value targets for threat actors, how a single vendor compromise translates directly into a supply chain breach affecting hundreds or thousands of downstream clients, and what every business needs to do before signing another security contract. 

Featuring real-world case vendors including SolarWinds, Okta, CrowdStrike, Sisense, and the 2026 eScan compromise, plus a practical vendor vetting playbook and a hard look at why infrastructure-level privacy matters more.
