The aforementioned incidents go to show that the global tech industry is rather delicate, not to mention the recent extensive blackout due to a software bug originating from CrowdStrike. It impacted millions of Windows devices and was accompanied by numerous incidents, making flights closed, TV broadcasts stopped, and telecommunication affected. The incident helped others understand just how interdependent and frail our associated technology is on a few key organizations. During integration of legacy and new technology, problems in one sphere have a cascade effect on the others, so the cybersecurity business needs reinventing its operational redundancy/backup models.
