A Congressional committee called on the chief executive of CrowdStrike to testify at a hearing about its role in a tech outage that roiled the global economy, in one of the first attempts to hold the cybersecurity company responsible.
The outage underscores how the world has become reliant on a small group of companies to maintain its digital infrastructure. CrowdStrike, the second largest American cybersecurity company, serves over half of Fortune 500 companies.
This incident demonstrates the interconnected nature of our broad ecosystem – global cloud providers, software platforms, security vendors, and other software vendors and customers.
