How secure is your Cloud Service?

Darkreading.com reported that “Two massive technical outages over the past year underscore the need for cybersecurity teams to consider how to recover safely from disruptions without creating new security risks.”  The October 30, 2025 article entitled " Cloud Outages Highlight the Need for Resilient, Secure Infrastructure Recovery” (https://www.darkreading.com/cloud-security/cloud-outages-highlight-need-resilient-secure-infrastructure-recovery) included these comments:

An Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage on Oct. 19 caused significant disruptions to numerous websites and online services. Error messages splashed across users' screens as they attempted to access popular sites like Amazon itself, as well as Snapchat and Disney+. The outage lasted two days, but spillover effects sprawled across industries. On Wednesday, the Microsoft Azure cloud platform and the Microsoft 365 service experienced a multihour outage due to what Microsoft described as an "an inadvertent configuration change." The Azure outage crippled critical business applications, bringing many organizations to a standstill. 

Like last year's CrowdStrike outage, these outages exemplified the blast radius that occurs when one or two vendors dominate a market area and own the infrastructure that everyone else relies on. While both incidents were the result of technical glitches, these extensive disruptions have serious cybersecurity implications for enterprises.
