maybe you can patch it "after hours" If your users same timezone as you and once they knock off you can start your work but what happens if your users are 24/7 x 365 and all in different timezones? Airline booking system, stock trading systems very very hatd to find downtime so you have no choice, if you don't patch your boss will chase you to do it.
At the very least do not keep your countries citizens data on US cloud servers and accept US security updates. Have your own vetted security patches and local data centers to store your citizens data. Be data sovereign!
The most important question is, why Crowdstrike don't test their updates before pushing out? Another issue is why Changi group IT dept is willing to trust 3rd party software to directly deploy updates to production without testing?
Crowdstrike Falcon is a endpoint antivirus solution. Same as how McAfee, TrendMicro, Symantec works, updates and pattern files are pushed to the agents running on the computer. So companies have to trust antivirus providers are doing their job properly, there is no protocol to test before implementing in production. It does not work like Windows update which are tested on pilot users before pushing to production environment. Don't blame Changi group, worldwide companies including companies in US Fortune500 list are impacted as well.
At this point in time, I do not understand the rationale that if software updates are automatically pushed out to MS Windows, how could CrowdStrike have not thought of the automatic recovery actions should something goes wrong ? Don't ever forget Murphy's Law. Well one could argue that if MS Wn don't start up, recovery cannot proceed. Shouldn't such critical software developers ever think of 'WHAT IF' MS Win cannot start, how to automatically revert out the updates ? I read that I.T engineers/technicans have to physically do manual recoveries to remove the defective update. This is unbelievable given we are not living in the 1990s ..it is now 21st century !
Why always all these so-called " security IT expert " will come to give rubbish comments when issues happend and not precent or stop them before matters out of control.
Due to sanctions, and Crowdstrike is a US company, they currently do not have any presence in Russia, nor are they allowed to do any business in Russia. If you don't have Crowdstrike on your Windows machine, you won't face this issue. China and North Korea are also unaffected. Yes Linux is more safe and robust, but a while back Crowdstrike also pushed an update that affected some Linux machines.
@@shuchanwong5054 The government would have to legislate to intervene and doing so would do a lot of harm to the government. Who would trust a government who decided to override a contract because they say it's "for the public good"?
Because the anchor literally asking factual questions, so he answered factually based on what Microsoft and Crowdstrike stated. What you want him say? An unsolicited opinion?
Never heard of crowdstrike until now. Must be a very lousy, cheapo antivirus software that the software system contractors bundled with the airport and other systems.
The damage to the Windows operating system by the glitch is such that it is impossible for Windows to repair itself, and requires a risky procedure to delete a specific file in the innards of Windows.
This so-called 'professor' and CNA 'expert' obviously is not very logical. He said that Linus and Mac OS are not affected but if you are running Microsoft server, you are affected. Dude, there are millions of Microsoft Servers that are not affected and running fine in this world while only a handful and small percentage suffers outages. So is it a case of Microsoft problem or it is a case of specific software running on Microsoft OS? If it is a case of Microsoft issue, explain why there are still millions of Microsoft Server running ok and not affected? Has your Microsoft OS PC in your home crashes on you during this period? Yes? No? A true expert will go find out how many Microsoft servers suffer outage and how many Microsoft servers are not affected. Then give the world a percentage figure out of the total Microsoft deployment. IF you got like 90% and above of all Microsoft servers affected, then you can make a claim that it is Microsoft OS issue. But if the percentage is like 1% or less (in this case I suspect only 0.000001%), then you have no ground to say it is due to Microsoft OS issue and still go further to claim that if you run Linux or Mac OS, you are unaffected. Look at how this expert (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N2rCnmqnDeo.html) deliberate on the problem in a responsible manner. How many times did he mention the keyword "Microsoft" in his explanation of the problem. ZERO. No mention of Microsoft and no mention of Linus or Mac OS. Just go straight to the issue and not b***shit to confuse everyone. You can do a contrast of this CNA 'professor expert' with CBS expert interview and you can distil straigh away the difference and quality.
@@hitoshijun2600 CrowdStrike is certified to run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and other flavor of Linux. So what do you mean by other OS don't run it? You know what you are talking about?
