Friday, 20 September 2024, 04:00
Impact of the CrowdStrike Outage
In July, CrowdStrike experienced a notable outage that significantly disrupted services for numerous organizations. As reported by Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), approximately one in ten affected entities are deciding to exclude CrowdStrike as their security vendor.
Reasons for Vendor Switches
- Service Reliability: Consistent server operations are vital for security solutions.
- Alternative Options: Businesses are exploring other vendors that can offer better reliability.
- Trust Issues: Security is paramount, and outages can erode customer trust.
This shift may lead the tech community to reassess the reliability of security vendors and the expectations surrounding their performance.
