To quickly recap, the carnage on July 19 came after CrowdStrike pushed out a defective software update to all its customers. Many computers turned up a “blue screen of death”. CrowdStrike – like rivals SentinelOne, Trend Micro and Palo Alto Networks – is popular as its technology can automatically detect and lock down threats.
CrowdStrike was nothing short of apologetic after causing the massive outage. Its chief executive George Kurtz told NBC News that the company was “deeply sorry” for the incident and “would make sure every customer is fully recovered”, although it would take time.The snafu on July 19 is reminiscent of a similar incident in 2010, when cyber-security firm McAfee – where Kurtz was chief technology officer – rolled out faulty software updates that froze computers from Australia and Europe to the US.
Comparatively, the fallout from the July 19 incident is far greater, given that many more organisations have rapidly digitalised since 2010.
