Security expert says Crowdstrike, CDK Global incidents are wake-up calls

When cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike's platform went down in July, it became the most significant outage in the history of information technology, according to The Guardian. About 8.5 million Microsoft operating systems were affected, including almost every sector of the economy.

In the wake of the crash, which was traced to a faulty software update pushed by Crowdstrike, the automotive business is among those developing new policies to avoid repeat incidents.
