If people just read and studied, they would know that the global downtime attached to Crowdstrike isn't an internet outage. It's not a Windows outage. It even wasn't a WiFi outage. Some of these headlines and articles I've seen OMG!!! But nah, journalists today aren't interested in the 5 Ws and 1 H. They just want the drama, unknowingly dragging others down with them in their composure. They want you to obey and agree with "the message." It's akin to saying WIFI is down, so IT troubleshoots WiFi, only to learn their computer needed a reboot. WiFi wasn't down at all. Read. Communicate. If you don't understand, it's better to assert ignorance than confidence. It shows a desire to learn. WiFi is down!!! No sweetie, your computer just derped and needed a reboot. WiFi is working just fine. All the same: No sweetie, Crowdstrike and Microsoft both did an unexpected thing that caused global problems. Everything surrounding that problem still worked just fine. Journalists today are gross. Don't trust any of them.

Expanded observations (Jayjit’s plus 1 or 2 others’): 1.While the outage was not the result of a cyberattack, it highlighted the fragility of the global digital infrastructure and the potential impact of a single point of failure. It also underscored the importance of rigorous testing and validation processes for software updates, especially those that are deployed on critical systems. 2. Artificial intelligence systems will do what you ask but not necessarily what you meant. The challenge is to make sure they act in line with human’s complex, nuanced values. Globally, researchers and policy implementation folks must try to make sure that artificial intelligence acts in our interests. Currently, we use large language models for incorporating human feedback in AI uses. Can we also use quantum computing for the more nuanced incorporation of human values? 3. But, then, Jayjit Biswas also points to the potential conflicts between the uses of blockchain and quantum computing technologies. 👇 Blockchain vs. Quantum Computing https://lnkd.in/g2JCvMKr

❗ If it can happen to Microsoft, it can happen to anybody. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) helps, but isn't perfect. Low-cost or free solutions, like Microsoft's own, can be used across corporate networks without disruptions. As part of e2e-assure initial threat assessments and pre-onboarding, we help you integrate MFA into your defence architecture if you haven’t done this already, and give you some hardening tips once it is in place.

Microsoft experienced a global outage today, impacting critical organizations worldwide. The issue has been identified and fixed. Hospitals, airports, and financial institutions are a few of the verticals impacted. Protecting corporate data and systems is a top priority for everyone today, especially IT leaders and CEOs.

The Crowd Strike incident only affected a small percentage of Windows-compatible devices, less than 1% according to Microsoft, which still amounts to 8.5 million systems. The impact was so massive because most organizations run centralized components in their IT architecture that can completely bring down your business when they fail. The traditional way to "secure" such critical single points of failure is to put in place high availability and disaster recovery solutions, which rely on having multiple clones/copies/instances of a critical component to increase the chances that at least one of those survives when the others fail. Unfortunately this time a software update killed all components, clones/copies/additional instances included. As an industry, we have to rethink some of our architecture decisions and best practices around Disaster Recovery, rolling updates, and distributed systems. At Planck we have been building a fully distributed email security solutions that has no single points of failure. If you run a traditional SEG today or you put all your eggs in one basket, assuming Microsoft or Google email services won't let you down, get in touch or try Planck for free!

Let's be clear about this Microsoft/crowdstrike outage. Most companies will blame crowdstrike. "due to a 3rd party outage ...", or " we were affected by this global outage". A very real symptom is client systems not restarting correctly because they assumed 100% uptime. I.e if Microsoft/crowdstrike took x unitOfTime to correct the issue, everyone else will take x + someActualReasonableFollowOnTime + wellOkOurDevsAreJustAsShhhhAsEveryoneElseSeconds. Let's not rush to blame

The recent CrowdStrike incident, affecting 8.5 million systems, highlights the risks associated with centralised IT components. Traditional disaster recovery methods can fail, as demonstrated when a software update took down all instances. At Planck Security, we've developed fully distributed email security solutions with no single points of failure. If you rely on traditional SEGs or major email services, it's time to rethink your approach. Try Planck for free and ensure your business is resilient. #CyberSecurity #DisasterRecovery #DistributedSystems #ITInfrastructure #PlanckSecurity

Protecting your systems and cloud applications is top of mind today. Having backup systems and plans if a system is down is critical in trucking operations. We hope you were not impacted by the outage at Microsoft.

This is a well measured letter from Microsoft to Delta. The only part I’d change is the claim that Windows is an “open platform”: “Open access” or “open opportunity” if you want to say “open,” because Windows is definitely not “open source.” If Delta pursues a lawsuit with Microsoft, my opinion is that will be a very embarrassing loss for Delta, likely exposing years of technical debt mismanagement at Delta… which happened under Ed Bastian’s leadership. I can understand why Ed and Delta would sue Crowdstrike; however, suing Microsoft demonstrates a troublesome fundamental misunderstanding of how computers and operating systems work… to the point that a harmful generational bias might be involved.

Now updated with the latest advice - Crowdstrike have changed the host update, however, at this stage systems already impacted will need to have the manual workaround (detailed on this post) applied to fix them.
