Healthcare Takes a Breath After CrowdStrike Scare

The global software outage on Friday caused disruption for many healthcare providers across the world, though most systems are now back up and running. The outage was traced back to cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, with around 8.5 million Microsoft devices affected. The disruption may top $1 billion globally, particularly impacting the airline industry. Experts warn of the risk of bad actors taking advantage of these issues, and the event serves as a reminder of the importance of robust, resilient systems in healthcare and other industries.
