If you are curious what a summation of 10,000 communications from IT partners, vendors, and OEM’s this week on the outage looks like, here is my take on it: A) Our reality now is that it is not “if”, but “when. B) Your business can prepare and prevent downtime / outages through the following: 1. Diversify IT Infrastructure: Avoid relying solely on a single vendor for all critical services. Utilize multiple cloud providers or hybrid cloud solutions to distribute risk. 2. Implement Redundancy: Ensure critical systems have redundant backups. This could include secondary data centers, backup servers, and alternative communication channels. 3. Develop a Robust Disaster Recovery Plan: Have a comprehensive plan that outlines steps to quickly restore operations. Regularly test and update this plan to address new potential threats. 4. Invest in Cybersecurity: Strengthen security measures to protect against cyberattacks that can cause outages. This includes regular updates, patches, and employee training on cybersecurity best practices. 5. Monitor and Alert Systems: Use monitoring tools to detect issues early and automate alerts for swift action. This helps in identifying potential problems before they escalate.

🚨 86,000 Fortinet instances are still vulnerable to the critical flaw that attackers started exploiting last week. Todd Boehler, our Chief Strategy Officer, believes these flaws 'speak to the need for closed-loop solutions that can not only internalize applicable CVEs, but then to also correlate potentially impacted third-parties and confirming that those third-parties have remediated or mitigated these risks while also pushing awareness to the offending party.'

The recent Global IT outage has underscored the critical importance of ensuring the safety and security of telecommunication networks worldwide. Regardless of the root cause, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the need for global awareness and vigilance in safeguarding these networks, which have essentially become the neural system of our interconnected world. Establishing a world-level surveillance institution with robust governance and overarching executive authority over countries and IT corporations is imperative. Such an institution would instill trust in technology-based industries, products, and services among the global community. Without this assurance, suspicion will continue to pose a significant barrier to global progress and the well-being of all inhabitants of our planet. #Crowdstrike #Crowdstrikeoutage #CrowdStrikeUpdate #Outage https://lnkd.in/eknZCni9
