WASHINGTON, Sept 24 (Reuters) - A senior executive at
cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike ( CRWD ) will apologize at an
appearance before a U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee
on Tuesday for the company's faulty software update that caused
a global IT outage in July.
Adam Meyers, senior vice president for counter adversary
operations at CrowdStrike ( CRWD ), will tell the House Homeland Security
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection subcommittee that
CrowdStrike ( CRWD ) released a content configuration update that
resulted in system crashes for many customers.
"We are deeply sorry this happened and are determined to
prevent it from happening again," Meyers' written testimony
said.
"We have undertaken a full review of our systems and begun
implementing plans to bolster our content update procedures so
that we emerge from this experience as a stronger company."
