  • It's a software update that had huge repercussions. All around the globe, companies have faced technology troubles after an update from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike (CRWD) impacted Microsoft (MSFT) systems. It led to delayed and canceled flights, stores closing their doors for the day, and headaches for millions. CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz posted on X the outage wasn't caused by a cyberattack and that a fix had been deployed. Many believe it could take a few days for all systems to be fully back online.
    Microsoft corporate vice president and deputy CISO Ann Johnson tells Market Domination about what went wrong. Johnson used the analogy of updating an app on your smartphone overnight. That's basically what CrowdStrike did; they issued an update overnight, and that update ended up roiling systems. Johnson explains that Microsoft is working with CrowdStrike to help those customers who were impacted by the update, adding that Microsoft has engineers working to help businesses implement the fix.
    Johnson says it's hard to say how long it will take for all issues to be fully resolved, but ultimately believes CrowdStrike likely did test the update thoroughly and that the problem was "something that was unexpected."

      I mean standardization of systems is also extremely efficient. You’re not really going to want to split your fleet of pc’s into several different operating systems, with different software versions, make sure they all are supported on the different platforms, have to train your people in different systems, have to negotiate purchase of support and training in two different systems, etc etc etc. There’s Linux and Mac out there as well, but there is a reason companies don’t automatically opt for hybrid OS deployments. You choose probably the best OS for the job and for your workforce and go from there.

      The issue with Linux and Mac is that the code base they use would mean every company would have to recode everything. Instead of using the same code across the board they use a different one. Same goes for Chrome. So the majority of apps and programs need for work is far less. It also does not help with they don't seem to be backwards compatible. In the case of Mac every year we have a new update for the whole OS meaning even all apps have to be updated.
      There is another issue and this is with Linux they have way to many distros that are all over the place and don't always play nice when it comes to the hardware. Chrome is really just Android put on a laptop.
      Windows is the only OS that really goes for the backwards compatible that even if a company is using software that is older on new hardware it won't matter. It's like being able to play Diablo ii which came out in 2000 on a RTX 4090 with a a Intel i9 14900k. There is no reason why it should not work.
      I mean if Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft can all do that Linux, Google, and Apple should be able to do that.

A state where the very "security software" is more dangerous than any hacker themselves. I mean imagine if this WAS a cyber attack.

    Both of their faults. CrowdStrike for untested faulty code and Microsoft for not having in-place a system of preventing untested 3rd-party code. It's not good enough. Too many systems reliant on their OS to provide services (some essential). They seem very blasé about this. Say what you want about Apple's 'walled-garden' approach, but I'd trust that to MS' approach any day of the week. If they're not going to take any responsibility, it will happen again. It might not be a cyber attack in title, but it literally was a cyber attack in action.

    As an person with 20+ yrs of IT experience I hate when they try to say a bunch of nothing!! Say what it was!! Someone let it either skip the testing environment or simply pushed it through to production and rolled it out!! This caused the outage, they are fired and were working to fix this! We've implemented new training, policy and procedures so this doesn't happen again! (It's a bunch of crap cuz we all know they're not changing but it sounds good!) Companies are cheap! Majority of companies don't listen to IT until something happens then expect them to be superhuman to fix something they've probably told upper management before and they ignored it because of cost! Also this is why backups are key! I just feel a lot of these companies are going to lose data. Sad thing is nothing is probably going to change.
