Last week a major IT news event created a buzz in the world of IT. CrowdStrike a well-known company which offers solutions like cloud workload protection, endpoint security threat intelligence and cyberattack response services had some issue. This issue caused the sensor to conflict with the Windows operating system that resulted in the infamous ‘Blue Screen of Death’, Technical Glitch. Approximately during a week they succeed to overcome the disruption, the Global IT Outage.
David Weston – Microsoft VP of Enterprise and OS Security described some facts about this Technology Glitch as, “We currently estimate that CrowdStrike’s update affected 8.5 million Windows devices, or less than one percent of all Windows machines. While the percentage was small, the broad economic and societal impacts reflect the use of CrowdStrike by enterprises that run many critical services.”
On Saturday, David Weston described his “first responder” approach. Since the start, we engaged over 5,000 support engineers working 24×7 to help bring critical services back online. We are providing ongoing updates via the Windows release health dashboard, where we detail remediation steps, including a signed Microsoft Recovery Tool.
George Kurtz, CEO of Crowdstrik, showed gratitude to overcome the Situation:
He apologized for the disruption and promised to resolve it on the urgent basis. He stated, “To our customers still affected, please know we will not rest until we achieve full recovery. At CrowdStrike, our mission is to earn your trust by safeguarding your operations. I am deeply sorry for the disruption this outage has caused and personally apologize to everyone impacted. While I can’t promise perfection, I can promise a response that is focused, effective, and with a sense of urgency.”
It’s really a great news! finally they resolve approximately 97%.
