Global Impacts of 2024 CrowdStrike Outage
On today’s special episode of “This Is Fine”, we unpack the very recent global CrowdStrike outage. CrowdStrike is an industry leading cybersecurity company that provides endpoint detection and response (EDR) software. On the morning of July 19th, 2024, CrowdStrike released a faulty update that impacted Microsoft Windows systems, leading to a widespread outage in industries varying from the airlines to emergency services.
To help us unpack what went wrong, we’re joined by Jake Williams, VP of Research and Development here at Hunter Strategy. In light of this problematic update, Matt and Jake discuss planning methods like balancing security needs with operational needs, mitigating disruption through staged deployments, providing clear communication during outages, and managing data confidentiality and system availability with BitLocker management.
Listen now and learn how you can improve your organization’s security posture and incident response plan from today’s CrowdStrike outage!
