Marketplace, whose shows are distributed on more than 800 U.S. radio stations, quoted Kevin Cleary for a story about how yesterday's Cloudflare outage reveals the vulnerability of cybersecurity consolidation. "It's economies of scale at the end of the day," said Cleary. "We can have a third party that can do it better than we can for cheaper than we can." The trade-off: sometimes that third party has a problem. So, Cleary said, companies have to ask themselves, "Do we want to roll the dice that every so often, Cloudflare is going to have one of these issues, Amazon is going to have one of these issues, Microsoft is going to have one of these issues."
