Incident alert
CrowdStrike Outage

On July 19, 2024, a flawed software update issued by the security company CrowdStrike for their Falcon platform triggered a “negative interaction” between the update and Microsoft’s operating system, which then caused computers and servers to crash across the globe. Although a fix was quickly identified, this incident led to organizations experiencing a significant amount of operational disruption, lost productivity, negative customer experience and financial losses.

It may take weeks or months to completely return to normal.

Verizon recommends that organizations evaluate their immediate and mid-to-longer term software and patch management processes as well as cyber security programs. 

Stay safe. And informed.
