Hidden Connections
Your business might not use AWS directly.
But that is not the whole story.
The real challenge lies in understanding your vendors’ dependencies.
Real-World Impact
Let me give you a concrete example.
Think about companies using Microsoft 365 for their email.
Today, many couldn’t receive their messages.
Why? Because their email security software depends on AWS.
When AWS went down, the entire email chain broke.
Conclusion
Understanding your complete digital supply chain is not just about knowing your direct service providers. It is about understanding the entire ecosystem your business relies on, including your vendors’ dependencies.
