CrowdStrike Outage Impacts Over 8 Million Computers

Posted by Matthew Rosenquist on July 22, 2024 at 9:30am in Podcast

The recent CrowdStrike outage, that continues to have global implications, reinforces the fact that cybersecurity solutions help manage cyber attack risks, but can also be a source of risk. The level of system access, which is necessary to provide security, can also be used to disrupt systems and used maliciously by attackers.

We are fortunate that the CrowdStrike incident was accidental, as reported by their CEO, instead of malicious. The cybersecurity industry must learn and adapt to maintain the right balance to provide protection and not unnecessarily increase risks in other areas.
