Strength in Decentralization

Decentralization aids in risk management by compartmentalizing exposure, as a breach affecting one entity among many reduces the overall threat to the entire network. This structure creates a protective armada effect, limiting the impact of any single attack. Despite some high-profile security breaches garnering media attention, which can erode consumer confidence, not all incidents carry equal risk. Stakeholders must maintain a realistic perspective on their vulnerabilities, acknowledging that while the threat is real, the likelihood of simultaneous breaches across multiple entities is statistically low.
