Cloud is one of the biggest single point of failure risks

Parametrix Co-founder and CEO Jonathan Hatzor contributes his comments on the cyber supply chain, and offers insights into one of the biggest single point of failure risks companies face today - the cloud. He shares statistics on the root causes of cloud downtime events in 2022 and the geographical split of critical cloud outage events in 2022.

Hatzor’s contribution is based on findings recorded by the Parametrix Cloud Monitoring System  detailed in the Parametrix latest report, Managing Cloud Outage Risk: Cloud Downtime in 2022. It reveals the details of cloud downtime among the three major providers – Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. We monitored nearly 1,200 performance interruptions and disruptions in 2022, four times the number reported by the providers themselves.
