This is NOT a cybersecurity or network vulnerability problem. That's just a symptom.

The real problem is that here, like so many other places in modern society, we've allowed consolidation to proceed far beyond healthy levels - when a single company is responsible for 20% of beef supply, it's time for antitrust action! (Yes, I'm looking at you, too, Internet, Tech, Media, Pharma, Aerospace/Defense, etc. companies...)

Maybe just allow one merger per decade, only available to companies with less than 10% of their market?
