This affords Falcon a significant level of privileges over devices it is installed on, allowing it to comprehensively scan communications and take autonomous action to protect the device in the event of an alert.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It appears that an update was pushed to Falcon which locked some Windows devices into a Blue Screen of Death loop on startup. This made the devices unusable and caused cascading failures for businesses, infrastructure and systems that relied on those devices to manage automated workflows. This is likely the result of a bug in the latest Falcon software update.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">CrowdStrike, for their part, are directing affected customers to their customer service portal, and has announced that it is aware of issues relating to its Falcon EDR as of Friday morning.

Globalisation allows supply chains to stretch across the globe to ensure affordability for consumers anywhere in the world; this is nothing new. But the instantaneous nature of global telecommunications, with the ability for office workers on separate continents to collaborate over the same line of code in real-time, and for software updates pushed in San Francisco to be instantly downloaded to a smartphone in Dublin, Ireland, highlights the ever-increasing need for resiliency against lightning-strike shocks to the system like this morning\u2019s.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Although CrowdStrike were able to turn around a fix to the bug in Falcon\u2019s update that made headlines globally on Friday in breakneck time, the damage in lost business could stretch into the billions \u2013 and that was simply the result of one morning without select Windows devices. Quickly resolved \u2013 from a technical standpoint \u2013 though this crisis was, it is already being called the worst IT outage the world has ever seen.
