According to CoinMeta, the CEO of communication platform Wire, Benjamin Schilz, stated that this week's Microsoft outage exposed the risk of putting an entire organization's communications at the mercy of a single provider's cloud. He pointed out that technology is never perfect, and similar outages can happen to any company, including their own. Schilz emphasized that government agencies, the defense industry, and critical infrastructure cannot afford to rely on a single service for communications. He added, "Digital sovereignty means not only having control over data and where it is stored, but also being able to continue operating in the event of disruptions." He warned that if an organization relies all of its communications on a single platform, it is essentially tying its own crisis response capabilities to that same platform.
