As systems become online after the CrowdStrike nullptr issue of yesterday, I can’t stop wondering if this can change Microsoft’s exception handling in kernel space. So a driver access the first page because it has a logical error - ok. Page isn’t there, no real harm can be done. OS know knows this driver has an issue - why dowsn’t the OS try to remedy the situation instead of just putting both hands in the air and giving up? Why not attempt to unload the driver, unhook it or whatever means possible instead of BSOD? Report it back via telemetry and make sure the driver doesn’t load again? Maybe this can be a policy setting companies can configure - in critical systems giving up this easily could be avoided? Just my 2 cents….

Below are my thoughts on the technology outage regarding CrowdStrike today. - Mistakes and things happen no matter how big your company is, how smart you are or how much you prepare. - The CEO took extreme ownership of the situation. They are being honest and doing everything they can to help people get back online. Love or hate the company, you have to respect that. - This is another clear example of how important it is to have SOP's and redundancy built into your business systems so you can operate if you get the blue screen of death. I am incredibly proud of our team at Providence Consulting Company. We had a few customers with issues and everything that could be fixed was back running by 9:36 am. Our techs worked together to develop command prompts and created a list of status pages and outage maps for everyone to monitor in case there were any other issues.
