Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Beyond the software sitting on your screen
There's hardware, chips, and networks in between
The old days when we managed just the code
Now every vendor's part of our risk load
From cloud providers down to IoT
Each connection's vulnerability

[Chorus]
V-R-M extends the boundary line
Risk cascades through every design
Map your vendors, rate their trust
When geopolitics disrupts
V-R-M keeps your systems strong
When supply chains go all wrong

[Verse 2]
Your database runs on Amazon's steel
But where's that server farm and is it real
The network routes through seven different lands
Each government has regulatory hands
Third party means fourth party too
Dependencies you never knew

[Chorus]
V-R-M extends the boundary line
Risk cascades through every design
Map your vendors, rate their trust
When geopolitics disrupts
V-R-M keeps your systems strong
When supply chains go all wrong

[Verse 3]
Semiconductors from the Far East shore
Rare minerals from nations now at war
The fiber cables crossing ocean floors
Can disconnect when tensions start to soar
Financial sanctions freeze the payment flow
Your vendor partners that you thought you'd know

[Bridge]
Traditional thinking stops at SaaS
Modern risks need broader class
Hardware, firmware, network path
Calculate the aftermath
Every layer, every tier
New attack vectors appear

[Chorus]
V-R-M extends the boundary line
Risk cascades through every design
Map your vendors, rate their trust
When geopolitics disrupts
V-R-M keeps your systems strong
When supply chains go all wrong

[Outro]
The stack is deeper than you think
Every layer is a link
V-R-M protects the whole design
From the surface to the spine
