Recently, the business community has been abuzz with concerns following a significant issue caused by an issue with CrowdStrike, a well-known cybersecurity company. This Crowdstrike outage affected numerous businesses, particularly those using Windows systems, leading to disruptions in operations and heightened worries about data security.

However, we are pleased to inform you that users of Datapel Cloud.WMS were not impacted by this incident. Our robust infrastructure and security measures ensured that our users’ operations continued seamlessly.

What Happened?

On 18 July 2024, CrowdStrike experienced a substantial service disruption that affected Windows users globally. This incident led to widespread system slowdowns, application errors, and, in some instances, complete system outages. The problem’s root cause was a malfunction within CrowdStrike’s endpoint protection service, which significantly impacted the performance of systems relying on Windows.

CrowdStrike, known for its endpoint protection and threat intelligence services, has a solid reputation for protecting businesses from cyber threats. However, even the most reliable services can encounter issues. The recent disruption serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities inherent in relying on a single endpoint protection service.

For businesses that were affected, this outage not only interrupted operations but also raised significant concerns about the security and integrity of their data.
