A good business continutiy plan will accept that and any other risk with the compensating control of insurance. Yes, there is a statistic and probability of your entire business going out like a lightswitch, however if you have insurance to mitigate that risk, it isn't game over.

Genuine question that sounds like trolling: can you get an insurance against critical service provider going poof for political reasons?

if there was a major "incident" I would have thought the odds of the insurer going bust are 100%
