What are your organization's plans for CrowdStrike following the recent outage? Are you re-evaluating your relationship, and if so, how are you avoiding making a knee-jerk reaction?

We noticed that due to a balanced approach between Windows and non-Windows based systems, our portals and core systems were not significantly impacted by the outage. This resilience allowed us to concentrate on internal issues, primarily focusing on VPN and internal end users. By chance, we had a favorable balance that helped resolve the issue.

Our goal is to maintain robust cybersecurity measures that protect our organization effectively. At the same time, it is evident that we must reduce our dependency on single points of failure without compromising the safety of our systems and customers.

We are committed to making informed, strategic decisions rather than reacting impulsively to a single event. We are not currently re-evaluating our relationship with CrowdStrike, but we are assessing whether this accidental balance is beneficial for us in the short term. Additionally, we are exploring options to eliminate or reduce dependency and single points of failure in the long term.

We are monitoring their response.

 If considering a switch, run pilot programs with alternative vendors to test their efficacy and reliability before making any major changes.

We are not re-evaluating our relationship, we are in discussions with them to expand the services we purchase from them & feel the recent incident gives us additional leverage in pricing discussions.

I recommend that you consider finding an outside third party to perform the audit.  I have had to do something similar with an unprofitable division/product line that reports directly to our CEO. We outsourced with Alvarez ...read more
