Post Mortem on Global IT Outage

On today’s show, we do a post mortem on the unprecedented IT outage that created chaos throughout the world a little over a week ago. The outage resulted in massive disruptions from healthcare to banking to airlines as a result of a relatively simple single software update by cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike. To help us unpack what really happened Philip See speaks to Dashveenjit Kaur Editor at TechForge Media and contributing editor at Digital News Asia to get an account of the chain of events that resulted in the calamity we witnessed across the world.
