Summary

The CrowdStrike software bug that caused a massive IT outage highlights the increasing risk of single-point-of-failure errors in systems, separate from malicious cyberattacks. Experts suggest that companies and the government need to adopt better practices to manage this risk, including improved software development and update standards. There may be new regulations related to software updates and patches in the future. The incident underscores the importance of scenario planning and the need for market-reinforcing mechanisms, such as the insurance industry, to address cybersecurity risks.
