Generally, you have to get a company's permission to use it's name or logo as an endorsement. That agreement has stipulations, such as being revoked if the association could bring disrepute or reputational harm to the endorser.

I'm sure none of the companies on that list want their investors calling the IR to ask about whether this event is a material issue for the company.

Well my company never had anything to do with SolarWinds and I expect getting calls from our customers tomorrow anyway.

Had the same with Citrix hack that was going around, we never had any Citrix but at we got at least ten calls.
