At any moment, even the smallest oversight or piece of unpreparedness can bring systems—and consequently businesses—down.

Preparation and visibility are key, not just to prevent such outages but to mitigate the vast financial risks they pose. The fallout from Friday's  event will likely be measured not just in the disruption of services but in exponential financial losses worldwide, potentially amounting to millions or even billions in lost revenue. It highlights a critical vulnerability: our increasing dependency on digital infrastructure can translate into staggering costs when that infrastructure fails. Kudos to all the IT professionals and teams are working tirelessly to resolve this issue and restore services.”
