One small failure. A massive global outage. Why does the internet break so easily—and what can you do about it?

In this urgent episode of TechDaily.ai, David and Sophia dig into the invisible architecture behind the web—and expose why even the world’s biggest websites are more vulnerable than they appear. Drawing on the latest research into infrastructure risk, they unpack the two biggest threats to global internet stability:

• Inter-provider dependency chains (INTERWIP): Hidden webs of reliance between DNS providers, CDNs, and certificate authorities that can cause exponential ripple effects
• Internal bottlenecks (INTWIP): The silent failure points inside network functions like firewalls and load balancers, especially under DDoS conditions

You’ll learn:

• Why just 3 providers control up to 70% of core web services
• How a streaming site can go down due to a provider it’s never heard of
• What the 2016 Dyn attack revealed about the web’s structural fragility
• The shocking 25x amplification effect of indirect dependencies
• Why Africa’s web is even more centralized—and vulnerable—than the U.S.
• How tools like NFTY reveal bottlenecks deep inside the cloud
• What operators and developers can do right now to reduce risk

This episode is a wake-up call for anyone building, hosting, or relying on digital infrastructure. It’s time to move beyond uptime promises and map the real fragility of the web—before the next cascade failure hits.
