The Crowdstrike software breach last July affected nearly 9 million computers and crippled the aviation, employment and even securities industries. Microsoft and Crowdstrike are blamed because a software update at the kernel level was detected as the cause of this incident.
Because of this, Microsoft held meetings with Windows security system vendors to prevent incidents like Crowdstrike from happening again. Meetings performed with CrowdStrike, Broadcom, Sophos, and Trend Micro were performed on the Microsoft score. In this meeting, all parties discussed how this issue can be avoided from recurring without causing any other security issues.
Among the changes agreed upon is security software that does not require access to the operating system's kernel mode. Microsoft also suggests that security companies work together to improve security as a group because even though they are competitors, they are not enemies.
The Crowdstrike bug has cost businesses around $5.5 billion. In Malaysia, the government will help local companies get compensation for operational disruptions caused by Crowdstrike.
