What the Recent CrowdStrike Outage Taught Me and My Team? Just Watch The Line Up Surrounding CrowdStrike!
The way I see it, this incident really tested our resilience and highlighted the incredible power of teamwork, quick action, and the spirit of our community. The overwhelming response showed just how much trust there is in our community and how ready we are to handle any crisis.
Being here at Black Hat and DefCon in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino Hotel, I've witnessed the immense support surrounding the CrowdStrike booth. The way the team at CrowdStrike handled the communication and real-time updates was crucial in stabilizing the situation. Their support was invaluable, reinforcing the importance of strong partnerships. Their assistance extended to everyone, from big companies with heavy resources to smaller organizations with resource-intensive operations. They identified the root cause, found a fix, and deployed it quickly and strategically, causing minimal impact.
Vijilan Security and its #MSP/#MSSP partners were ready to provide boots on the ground when needed. This fast action not only fixed the issue but also strengthened our customers' trust in us.
I’m happy to say that our efforts led to continuous improvement. This experience, though challenging, underscored the importance of readiness, communication, and teamwork. From my perspective, the outage tested our resilience and ability to collaborate under pressure. It reminded us that even in tough times, we can achieve great things when we work together.
