CrowdStrike CEO says nearly all devices back online after outage

CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz said in a LinkedIn post Thursday that 97% of the Windows sensors that went offline during last week’s global IT outage are now back up-and-running. “This progress is thanks to the tireless efforts of our customers, partners, and the dedication of our team at CrowdStrike… However, we understand our work is not yet complete, and we remain committed to restoring every impacted system. Our recovery efforts have been enhanced thanks to the development of automatic recovery techniques and by mobilizing all our resources to support our customers. We published a preliminary incident report detailing how this happened and the measures we’re taking to prevent such incidents in the future. CrowdStrike is committed to building on our mission to stop breaches, with a renewed focus on customer controls and resilience. Customer obsession has always been our guiding principle, and this experience has only strengthened our resolve.”
