In this episode of Trust Issues, we dig into the recent the global IT outage caused by a CrowdStrike software update, which impacted millions of Microsoft Windows endpoints and disrupted many sectors. This “black swan” event highlights, among other things, the importance of preparedness, adaptability and robust crisis management.
