CrowdStrike Update Causes Global Microsoft Outage Affecting Banks, Airlines And More (www.forbes.com)

  • A global Microsoft Windows outage, caused by a CrowdStrike software update, has disrupted airlines, banking services, and 911 lines, leading to grounded flights and long queues.
  • The issue resulted in many systems experiencing the “Blue Screen of Death” (BSOD), affecting major carriers and airports worldwide, and also impacted the London Stock Exchange and Australian banking systems.
  • CrowdStrike has identified and isolated the defect, deploying a fix, but recovery is expected to be slow due to the need for manual intervention on affected devices.

And that's why the IT dept needs to test all software updates before rolling them out on the productive systems.

If they're as slow to roll out the updates to CS as they are the rest of the updates we'll be a year behind on CS updates haha.

Been awhile since we've POCed Crowdstrike, but I don't think you can set the cadence on updates for Crowdstrike. I believe Crowdstrike enforces auto-updates, it was at least the default setting.
