What is your business resilience level? How do you model risk? An American cybersecurity company, Crowdstrike, has caused more global havoc than any virus its solution was created to block. Yes, no virus in history has accomplished what Crowdstrike has achieved, when it knocked down industries and companies after a faulty patch:
“[the patch] grounded more than 6% of the world’s commercial flights. It also halted surgeries, broadcasts, money transfers, 911 call centers, train systems, stores, hotel reservations, mobile apps, and some government services.”
Lesson: The greatest havoc came from a Cybersecurity firm, not a Virus. This is a lesson for everyone that what destroys may not always come from outside, but could be incubated inside!
