Summary
In response to a notable outage caused by a flawed CrowdStrike security update in July, technology leaders are reassessing their IT operational resilience. A survey by Cockroach Labs and Wakefield Research revealed that over 90% of 1,000 senior cloud architects and engineers recognized operational weaknesses that could lead to costly interruptions, with nearly half admitting to inadequate measures for improvement. The incident, which disrupted millions of Windows systems and impacted major airlines and banks, underscored the necessity for robust cybersecurity and operational strategies, as companies reported an average of 86 outages a year, with significant recovery times and resultant productivity losses.
