How Hacks Happen

CrowdStrike Special


Listen Later

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? While the outage was repaired quickly, the fact that it affected so many systems we depend on is a wakeup call reminiscent of crippling cybersecurity attacks. 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.
