In cyber security we have a perception that we need to hold ourselves to a higher level of scrutiny than others. We are expected to be the gold standard - a whole level of perfectionism that is unattainable.
The CrowdStrike outage really highlighted the question - have we become too reliant on technology companies that are all critically dependent on each other in one big system?
But we must accept that it did happen, and this is because we can never truly eliminate risk in technology - the sooner we change our perception of this, the sooner we can be prepared to handle future incidents effectively.
It could have widespread impact across many organisations that rely on their services. This can create a 'too big to fail' dynamic, like the financial sector.
