This issue happened in systems that run CrowdStrike Falcon in Microsoft Windows. CrowdStrike admitted that it's their update that caused crash on Windows machines. But here is the thing,, Crowdstrike Falcon also exists in Linux and Mac systems but they did not fail. The steps that business owners should take is to tell your IT people to make sure the business systems you develop are OS agnostic. We don't have to choose MS Windows exclusively to run our business applications. MS no longer has a monopoly in running servers and we have all the option to choose technology stacks that can also run our business. What are the options? Build your systems in such a way that it can work in multiple OS such as Windows, Linux, BSD or Mac. That way, we have better chances of putting our businesses back online within minutes (not hours or days).
