Just hours before Microsoft's earnings call, a massive Azure outage took down services globally. Was it a sophisticated cyber-attack, or something far simpler?

In this episode of the Inspiring Tech Leaders podcast, I look at what caused the Azure Front Door problem.

Listen in to learn more about:

💡 The root cause of the Azure Outage.

💡 How Microsoft maintained its financial momentum and managed the narrative despite the massive disruption.

💡 The data that shows most major outages are internal technical failures, but also the critical, growing trend of disruption as a primary cyber-tactic.

For every IT and security leader, this incident is a powerful case study in modern digital resilience. When systems fail, we need to understand if it’s an error of code, or perhaps an act of cyber warfare.

What are your thoughts? Do you think the public and media are too quick to assume a cyber-attack? Let me know in the comments.
