Description

When Cloudflare stumbled, so did thousands of websites, apps, and digital services around the globe. It affected everything from banking transactions to social media feeds and even some AI platforms. For most users it felt like the internet itself had paused.

We want to understand what happened, why a single company can have this much impact, and what this means for businesses that depend on always-on digital infrastructure. Joining me is Suresh Srinivasan, Group Head of Cyber Security, Axiata Group Berhad. We will talk about the root cause, the role that Cloudflare plays in the global internet, the question of whether DNS is still the weak point in the ecosystem, and what this outage tells us about our increasing reliance on a small group of large infrastructure companies.
