In July, CrowdStrike systems went down, causing over 8 millions systems to crash. It turns out the error was not caused by a virus, international attack or otherwise- Just a faulty update being pushed out. For a programmer, that is the number one nightmare. We sort out just what happened and what it takes to keep your systems going even in the event of imminent peril.

On this episode of A State of Control, Steve Greenblatt and Rich Fregosa are joined by James King and Paul Konikowski to discuss the Crowdstrike Outage. We look at the potential risks of relying on cloud-based systems, worst-case scenarios, and responsibility in events like this.
