On Friday 19 July 2024 the world awoke to a global IT outage. This was a significant IT incident resulting in a global outage affecting numerous users, but not Zenator customers. The issue was not due to a cyberattack but rather an internal technical fault. This disruption caused widespread service interruptions for companies relying on CrowdStrike’s cybersecurity solutions.
CrowdStrike has since been addressing the problem and working to restore normal operations for all affected clients. The incident highlights the critical nature of reliable IT infrastructure for cybersecurity providers and the widespread impact when such services go down.
For the companies affected by the CrowdStrike outage, this is a single point of failure (SPOF) and for these companies, the consequences have been catastrophic.
Zenator’s resilience during the CrowdStrike outage was not a fluke; by design and by choice, the risk management strategies of our IT infrastructure provider, Precept, and Falcon Global specifically eliminate reliance on a single cybersecurity provider.
We have taken proactive measures to put in place diverse cybersecurity solutions with robust contingency plans to mitigate such vulnerabilities.
See the testimonial below from one of our Zenator customers, Wolter Wielenga, Project Director for AGPC. The company are constructing a gas plant for the ANOH field, about 70km NW of Port Harcourt, Nigeria.
