Global Cyber Outage Impacts Businesses Worldwide

Crowdstrike at the Heart of the Issue

The global cyber outage on Friday has affected businesses, airports, and government services worldwide. Companies in various industries, including airlines, banking, and media, have been impacted by the outage, which was not caused by a security incident or cyberattack, according to the firm and the UK's National Cyber Security Centre.

Crowdstrike's Role

Crowdstrike, a cybersecurity company founded in 2012, is at the heart of the outage. The company's software is used by many of the affected organizations to detect and respond to cyber threats. Crowdstrike is currently investigating the cause of the outage and working to resolve the issue.

The outage is a reminder of the importance of cybersecurity and the need for organizations to have robust security measures in place. It is also a reminder of the interconnectedness of our global economy and the potential impact of cyberattacks.
