A four-week plan to tackle vendor concentration risk
A Skycloak founder outlines a four-week plan to uncover hidden vendor concentration and single-provider outage risk.
In a Help Net Security video, Skycloak founder Guilliano Molaire explains how vendor concentration risk stays hidden when many contracts rely on the same cloud, identity, DNS, email, payment, or AI providers. Using a fictional 200-person company, he maps direct vendors down to about five choke points. He covers questions for vendors, exit assistance, data portability, SLAs, standard protocols, export drills, backup identity paths, and a four-week plan.
- Separate vendors can still depend on one cloud, identity, DNS, email, or payment provider.
- A fictional 200-person company is narrowed to about five shared choke points.
- Guidance covers exit help, data portability, SLAs, export drills, and backup identity.
- The talk ends with a four-week plan teams can start immediately.
