InfoSec community sounds off on CrowdStrike outage, next steps

Last month, a faulty CrowdStrike sensor update resulted in over 8.5 million Windows devices globally experiencing Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors and reboot loops. Tech industry experts noted the incident highlights the need for more robust software testing and phased rollouts. Although CrowdStrike was praised for its rapid response, the company now faces potential lawsuits and must convince clients and stakeholders it has improved its processes to prevent future similar incidents.
