CrowdStrike Says 97% of Windows Sensors Back Online After Outage

MT Newswires Live07-26

CrowdStrike (CRWD) said over 97% of Windows sensors were back online as of Thursday, a week after the firm issued a routine update containing a bug that triggered a global IT outage.

"To our customers still affected, please know we will not rest until we achieve full recovery," CEO George Kurtz said in a LinkedIn post on Thursday.

The July 19 outage happened because a newly updated threat protection mechanism for CrowdStrike's Falcon platform sensor carried a defect that forced Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows operating system to crash, according to the cybersecurity firm's preliminary incident report.
