CrowdStrike exec to apologize for faulty update that caused global IT outage
Sep 24, 2024 6:03 AM

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."
