In July this year (2024), there was a major global outage of Information Technology (IT) services. Flights were delayed as airlines faced blank-out of system screens, banks failed to function and, in some cases, the media and the hospitals were also affected.
The cause was cybersecurity firm, CrowdStrike, introducing software that caused a misreading of threats. Within seconds, the issue escalated into a major incident for businesses around the world.
Such incidents, yes even the major ones, affect every organization at least once every few years.
In this case, over a couple of weeks later, the company released its investigation report into the incident. Yet, what really mattered was the major incident management protocols and systems across businesses that were hit by the outage. These enterprises were also under severe customer pressure to deliver.
If you are a business, please note that being unprepared for major incident management or ensuring that it can deliver on time are critical functions.
