Businesses and services worldwide are gradually returning to normal after a massive IT outage caused by a faulty software update from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike. The update, which was not the result of a cyberattack, led to widespread disruptions across various sectors, including airlines, banks, healthcare, and media.

The incident has highlighted the vulnerabilities in the world’s interconnected technologies and the need for better contingency plans to prevent such widespread disruptions in the future.
