Inside the 2026 Business Blast Radius: Dr. Amit Chaubey on Why Cyber Disruption Is Now a Sovereign Risk

Executive summary: In an interview, Dr. Amit Chaubey outlines the "2026 Business Blast Radius," warning that simultaneous failures of external dependencies (power, connectivity, cloud, identity, suppliers) and accelerating threat activity (ransomware, data breaches, dark‑web markets, AI‑enabled identity attacks, cloud control‑plane exploits) will turn cyber incidents into broad continuity, safety, legal, and sovereign resilience crises; he urges boards and executives to rehearse degraded‑mode operations, map recovery sequencing and dependencies, improve controls hygiene (people, identity, vulnerability management), and align governance, legal, communications, and operations for rapid, auditable decision‑making during major disruptions.
