Crowdstrike outage: What is the cyber security company linked to the global outage?

A global software outage affecting banks, airports, and other businesses has been partially attributed to a software update by US cybersecurity firm, CrowdStrike. The issue affected Microsoft Windows operating systems and was related to the Falcon software product. CrowdStrike has addressed the issue and has not attributed the disruption to a cyberattack or security incident. The cybersecurity firm is widely used by Fortune 500 companies and is known for tracking major hacks, including the 2016 Russian interference in the US election.
