Executives See Another Crowdstrike-Level It Outage On The Horizon
CIODIVE, Thursday, December 12th, 2024
IT and business leaders admit to prioritizing security at the expense of service disruption readiness, a PagerDuty report found.
Most executives expect their organization to experience a CrowdStrike-level IT outage within the next year, according to a PagerDuty survey of 1,000 IT and business leaders conducted by Wakefield Research.
The July global outage caused by a faulty Falcon sensor update was a wake-up call, the report found. Nearly 9 in 10 respondents said they now realize their organization had prioritized security at the expense of service disruption readiness.
'Executives around the globe are shifting their leadership priorities with major incidents in mind, with 100% of those surveyed reporting a heightened focus on preparing for future service disruptions at their companies,' PagerDuty CIO Eric Johnson said in the report.
