CrowdStrike outage leaves many companies still struggling over a week later
Early guidance for fixing the CrowdStrike bug is to simply reboot systems over and over again, but this isn't working for everyone
CrowdStrike has already deployed a fix for the outage, but it could take some time before all systems are updated
A major outage at CrowdStrike, a leading provider of cybersecurity software, has left many companies struggling to recover more than a week later.
The outage began on March 8, when CrowdStrike's cloud-based services went down. This caused widespread disruptions for customers, as they were unable to access their security software or receive updates.
CrowdStrike has since deployed a fix for the outage, but it could take some time before all systems are updated. In the meantime, some businesses and organizations are beginning to recover, but many expect the outages to drag on into the weekend or next week.
CrowdStrike is working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, but it is not yet clear what caused the outage.
