Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella released his first response on the global outage sparked by a faulty update from American cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike
"We are aware of this issue and are working closely with CrowdStrike and across the industry to provide customers technical guidance and support to safely bring their systems back online," Nadella assured in a statement.
The incident, which erupted on Friday, disrupted operations across multiple sectors including airlines, banks, TV channels, and other businesses reliant on Windows systems. The root cause was traced to a flawed update deployed by CrowdStrike on their Falcon Sensor, designed to safeguard Windows environments.
