Lessons Learned from the CrowdStrike Outage

Were you impacted by CrowdStrike Outage on July 18th? Many businesses were forced to close their doors as an estimated 8.5 million Windows devices were rendered useless. More than half a million passengers found themselves stranded as Delta and other airlines were forced to cancel flights. I’ve seen estimates that this outage will cost businesses over 1 billion dollars! In a world where digital resilience is more critical than ever, the recent CrowdStrike outage serves as a reminder of the complexities inherent in cybersecurity. A software update gone awry led to a temporary disruption, affecting organizations worldwide and highlighting the need for robust IT support and management.
