CrowdStrike, a top cybersecurity company, had an issue affecting many businesses using Windows. This caused data security and business continuity concerns. But we are happy to advise that Datapel Cloud.WMS users were not affected.
What Happened?
18 July 2024 – CrowdStrike had a service disruption affecting Windows users worldwide. Systems slowed, apps crashed and in some cases went down completely. The issue was with CrowdStrike’s endpoint protection service.
Why Datapel Cloud.WMS Users Were Not Impacted
Datapel Cloud.WMS uses a suite of managed services to ensure high availability, security and performance:
- Cloud-Native: Our platform is cloud-native so is always available and performing, unaffected by endpoint issues.
- Redundant Security: We have multiple layers of security, not relying on a single endpoint protection service. This reduces risk and ensures ongoing protection.
- Managed Services: Our infrastructure is always up-to-date, secure and managed by experts, with no single points of failure like CrowdStrike’s endpoint protection service.
No Action Required for Cloud.WMS Users
Datapel Cloud.WMS users don’t need to do anything in response to the CrowdStrike issue. Our managed services ran smoothly without interruption. Your data is safe and your workflows uninterrupted.
But review other services in your IT infrastructure that use CrowdStrike or similar endpoint protection solutions. Keep these systems up-to-date and patched to prevent similar issues in the future.
