"#Zoho has not, does not, and will never sell your information to someone else for advertising, nor make money by showing you other people's ads." And they claim to not use third party trackers on website or apps.

Since they offer a pretty similar web and cloud based toolset like google I wonder if it could and should be used as replacement.

Somebody has insights or want to have a look inside?

I consider myself reasonably aware of how dependent I am on technology.
Or at least I thought I was.

I recently had to send my phone in for repair and switched to a spare. Nothing dramatic. Same SIM. Calls and SMS work. In theory, I’m fine.

In practice, a surprising amount of my daily life simply stopped working.

I can’t make a bank transfer because the banking app isn’t activated on this device to confirm transactions.
I can’t log in to many websites because they insist on login confirmation from a previously verified phone.
I can’t start the robot vacuum cleaner, which I turned off for the holidays and never set up again.
I can’t even easily turn off some lights, because they’re normally controlled via a smart plug tied to an app.

And these are just the obvious examples I ran into within the first day.

What struck me most is not that this happened, but how complete the dependency is. The phone is not just a tool. It’s an identity anchor, an authorization token, a remote control, a recovery mechanism, and a silent assumption baked into countless systems.

We often talk about backups in terms of data. Files, photos, maybe servers.
Much less often do we think about operational backups for everyday life. What happens when the one device that confirms everything is suddenly unavailable? How many “secure” setups quietly assume permanent smartphone presence?

This is another place where technological maturity is tested. Not by adding more smart features, but by thinking through failure modes. Especially the boring ones. Especially the ones we dismiss because, realistically, how often do we not have our phone at hand?

Until we don’t.

A single cloud outage can disrupt every core system you depend on, which is why digital resilience has to extend far beyond traditional continuity planning.

In this quick video, we outline five steps every CISO should prioritize—from mapping third- and fourth-party dependencies to running cloud-outage tabletop exercises that mirror real conditions. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fgyWb1dq_g

Microsoft has resolved a Copilot outage that affected users in the U.K. and Europe following unexpected traffic growth, capacity-scaling faults, and a later-identified load-balancing issue.

The company reverted a recent policy change and manually scaled capacity to restore access.

What resiliency expectations should we have for cloud-delivered AI tools as they become core to daily workflows?

Cloud outages don’t just disrupt technology. They test how organizations communicate and adapt under pressure. Incident communication must be a strategic priority so that stakeholders can trust your team when systems go down.
Question vendor dependencies, demand drills, and ensure crisis leadership is part of the culture, because when tech falters, preparedness and honest communication will shape outcomes.

Nevada declined to pay ransom after a ransomware attack traced back to a spoofed system admin tool via SEO poisoning.
With FBI & Mandiant support, the state restored 90% of impacted data in 28 days.
No gang has claimed the attack yet; recovery costs exceed $1.5M.

Fortinet’s mid-year IR report reaffirms a key truth: most financially driven breaches don’t rely on malware - they rely on valid logins.
Credential theft, VPN abuse, and remote access tool misuse dominate 2025’s incident landscape.
The takeaway: shift from malware-centric defenses to identity-based monitoring and MFA enforcement.

Diversity builds resilience — especially in the cloud.

Too many organizations depend on a single provider or region, creating hidden points of failure that can ripple across their entire business.

Matt Durrin reminds us that spreading workloads across multiple clouds isn’t just a best practice, it’s a safeguard against systemic risk.

When AWS went down, the Internet stumbled — but the real story wasn’t just about downtime. It exposed a dangerous fourth-party risk lurking deep in the digital supply chain.

In our latest blog, Sherri Davidoff and Matt Durrin unpack what the October 2025 AWS outage revealed about cloud concentration, vendor dependencies, and true digital resilience.

Learn why “just trusting the cloud” isn’t enough and how to strengthen your defenses before the next outage hits.
