Crowdstrike debacle, Three Brief Thougths

  1. This is not an unexpected accident. It has happened before on a smaller scale. We’ve seen companies like Crowdstrike under-resource their system controls that should prevent this. There is probably a strong case for regulation here. Maybe the EU will do something.
  2. Pharma companies should consider situations like the Crowdstrike incident in their business continuity plans. Plan for a week or more of what happened Friday.
  3. While my flight was only delayed an hour, there were sure to be a lot of grumpy and angry-looking people at Sea-Tac and Logan. I really think if we didn’t have a dysfunctional Congress, we would have seen a real change in how the airline industry is regulated by now.
