internet

2025 highlighted internet resilience failures; automation designed for reliability led to outages at AWS and Cloudflare. Centralized systems create vulnerabilities while complexity increases unforeseen interactions. The internet's architecture is flawed, necessitating new designs that prioritize safe automation and distributed defenses over mere scaling. We need real-time visibility into network operations to adapt and prevent future issues, especially with unpredictable AI workloads. True security involves rethinking our approach, acknowledging past mistakes, and moving away from “security theater.”
