Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike disclosed that it was experiencing a technical outage, which affected some of its clients.
One of the affected clients was the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which uses CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform to monitor its systems for malicious activity.
The outage began on Thursday, March 8th, and lasted for several hours. During that time, ICE was unable to access CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform, which left their systems vulnerable to attack.
CrowdStrike has since resolved the outage and ICE has regained access to the Falcon platform. However, the incident has raised concerns about the security of ICE’s systems and the potential impact on its operations.
The outage at CrowdStrike is a reminder that even the most well-protected organizations are vulnerable to cyberattacks. It is important for organizations to have a comprehensive cybersecurity plan in place to protect their systems and data.
Kind regards J. Ross.
