CrowdStrike update that caused global outage likely skipped checks, experts say

CrowdStrike's routine Falcon Sensor update crashed systems globally. Manual fixes were necessary due to vetting issues, as noted by experts like Steve Cobb and Patrick Wardle. John Hammond recommended limited deployment. Frequent signature updates weren’t tested enough. The incident, similar to McAfee's past outage, also affected Fortune 500 clients, highlighting CrowdStrike's market prominence.
