Let’s talk about concentration risk—ever heard of it? (Hint: think "all your eggs in one basket.") While this term comes from banking, it applies to cybersecurity too. If your entire security program relies on one vendor or a single control feeding into everything else, you’re facing concentration risk. You probably don't want that. It's probably even more of a risk if that vendor has questionable security practices... #CyberSecurity #RiskManagement #CyberAwareness #SecurityStrategy
