On July 19, the CrowdStrike outage was all over the news. But what was it really about, and what does it have to do with all of us?

In this episode, we look at what happened, how it relates to other outages including targeted cybersecurity attacks, and how we can protect ourselves from the fallout of such outages in the future.
