Microsoft announced that it will organize a new meeting with its partners to resolve the update problem caused by CrowdStrike last month. The CrowdStrike update, which caused malfunctions and outages on Windows systems, created a major crisis all over the world.
Microsoft organizes special security meeting with CrowdStrike
The Windows Endpoint Security Ecosystem Summit will be held in conjunction with CrowdStrike this year. The tech giant called for the summit to address issues in security partnerships and update processes. To be held on September 10, the event will be conducted with many security companies.
According to Microsoft, the summit will aim to improve security and resilience in the Windows security ecosystem. The tech giant will outline its plans to better serve customers and prevent similar incidents from happening again in the future.
The CrowdStrike update in July crippled millions of Windows systems worldwide. It caused flight delays for airlines and unavailability of medical systems for healthcare companies.
In this context, Microsoft said that it will now run the processes and infrastructure that support the security of Windows systems on its own. In other words, updates provided by security firms such as CrowdStrike will not be applied directly to Windows systems.
After the summit, Microsoft wants to strengthen its partnership practices, reduce risks from future problems and regain customer trust after the CrowdStrike failure. The September 10 event will have an impact on the security and technology industry.
