Flash briefing: CrowdStrike – What went wrong and how to avoid being Strike 2

Delivered by: Alan Calder, Founder and Executive Chairman, IT Governance

Transform disruption into resilience: Lessons from the CrowdStrike outage

The recent CrowdStrike incident has demonstrated that no organisation, regardless of size or industry, is immune to unexpected IT disruptions.
