On July 19, IT systems began crashing around the world that took down hospitals and airlines for days. A faulty CrowdStrike Falcon software update triggered Windows systems to crash. The insured losses from this incident are expected to range between $300 million and $1 billion.  Worldwide financial damage is estimated to be at least $10 billion.

This incident highlights the impact that a single point of failure has on a business and its vendors and customers it works with. Although a fix was released within hours, many affected computers had to be fixed manually, which was why outages continue to linger.
