Microsoft announced that it will hold a new meeting with its partners to solve the update problem caused by CrowdStrike last month. The CrowdStrike update, which caused malfunctions and interruptions in Windows systems, created a major crisis all over the world.
Microsoft Holds Special Security Meeting with CrowdStrike
The Windows Endpoint Security Ecosystem Summit will be held in conjunction with CrowdStrike this year. The tech giant called for the summit to address issues in security partnerships and update processes. The event, which will be held on September 10, will be conducted with many security firms.
According to Microsoft, the summit’s goal will be to improve security and resilience across the Windows security ecosystem. The tech giant will outline plans to better serve customers and prevent similar incidents from happening again in the future.
The CrowdStrike update in July rendered millions of Windows systems unusable worldwide, causing flight delays for airlines and rendering medical systems unusable for healthcare companies.
In this context, Microsoft said that it will now run the processes and infrastructure that support the security of Windows systems on its own. In other words, updates provided by security companies such as CrowdStrike will not be applied directly to Windows systems.
After the summit, Microsoft is looking to strengthen its partnership practices, reduce risks from future issues, and regain customer trust after the CrowdStrike failure. We’ll see how the event, which will be held on September 10, will impact the security and technology industry.
