After the global "Blue Screen" crash incident, Microsoft will hold a cybersecurity summit to strengthen security confidence
Microsoft will hold a summit on Tuesday local time to discuss measures to improve network security systems. In July of this year, CrowdStrike's software update failed, causing a global IT system outage. This meeting marks an important first step for Microsoft in addressing the issue that affected nearly 8.5 million Windows devices on July 19, disrupting operations in industries ranging from major airlines to banks and healthcare. The event will take place at Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond, Washington, with invited government representatives also in attendance. The July outage raised concerns that many organizations are not adequately prepared to implement emergency plans when IT systems or their software experience single-point failures. Analysts say the outage also exposed the risks of relying on a single vendor to provide an all-in-one security solution. Delta Air Lines stated that after the outage resulted in a large number of flight cancellations and caused the airline to lose at least $500 million, the company is pursuing legal claims against CrowdStrike and Microsoft
