Storm⚡️Watch | Cyber Insights | CrowdStrike, Azure, Solar Winds and Special Guest Tod Beardsley
Summary: This episode of Storm⚡️Watch covers the CrowdStrike software update mishap that caused widespread outages for Windows devices globally and affected millions of users, along with a Microsoft Azure outage in the Central US region that stemmed from an accidental deletion during routine maintenance. It also covers the dismissal of most of the SEC's lawsuit against SolarWinds over the 2020 Sunburst cyberattack, SolarWinds patches for critical vulnerabilities in Access Rights Manager and Serv-U, and the takedown of the 911 Sh botnet described as potentially the world's largest.
Why it matters: A single faulty software update and one accidental deletion during routine maintenance were each enough to take down Windows devices worldwide and an entire Azure region, which is the exposure a security leader carries when availability depends on vendors' change control rather than their own.
