## Resource

Episode 46 of Enterprise Tech with Fexingo digs into a growing blind spot in Fortune 500 procurement: insider threats from vendor employees. Lucas and Luna break down a specific 2025 case where a third-party contractor at a major cloud provider exfiltrated customer authentication tokens, costing the client company $47 million in incident response and lost business. They explore how procurement teams are now adding insider-threat clauses to vendor contracts, requiring privileged-access audits, and using behavioral monitoring tools like Obsidian Security. The hosts debate whether these measures go far enough, especially for SaaS vendors with deep integrations into client networks. This episode is essential listening for procurement leaders, vendor managers, and CISOs who want to understand why "trust but verify" is becoming a contractual requirement. #InsiderThreat #VendorRisk #Procurement #Fortune500 #Cybersecurity #SaaS #CloudComputing #ThirdPartyRisk #ObsidianSecurity #SupplyChain #Business #Technology #VendorManagement #DataBreach #SecurityAudit #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EnterpriseTech Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
