Episode notes
What happens when the weakest link in your technology supply chain becomes the entry point for a national security incident? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I welcome back Haydn Brooks, CEO and founder of Risk Ledger, to discuss why supply chain security has moved from an IT concern to a boardroom and government priority. As organizations race to adopt AI, connect more systems, and depend on increasingly complex ecosystems of vendors, partners, cloud providers, and third-party services, the attack surface continues to expand in ways many businesses still struggle to understand. Haydn explains why supply chains remain one of the largest blind spots in cybersecurity, despite years of warnings and a growing list of high-profile incidents. We explore how attackers increasingly target smaller suppliers that lack the resources and expertise of larger enterprises, using them as stepping stones to reach critical infrastructure, government agencies, and major corporations. The conversation also examines how AI is reshaping the risk equation.
