While reading this I was struck with an interesting question: What risk does any particular software vendor pose to an industry at large? For example (making up numbers here): if 75% of all airline computers have croudstrike falcon installed that seems like a very concentrated risk. I actually wouldn't be surprised if we had this we would see really high concentrations of a small number of vendors in any industry.
