SolarWinds

Thoma Bravo and Silver Lake took SolarWinds private for $4.5B in 2016. In 2020, SolarWinds was the victim of the most significant supply-chain cyberattack in U.S. history — the Orion hack compromised 18,000+ organizations including U.S. government agencies. The SEC later charged SolarWinds with fraud for misleading investors about its security practices.
