Understanding the recent IT outage: lesson in cyber security Last Friday, we witnessed one of the largest IT outages in history, disrupting flights, closing stores, and more. This highlights the critical importance of robust cyber security and the risks tied to third-party software. Many organisations depend on CrowdStrike for threat detection and incident response. However, a faulty update from CrowdStrike caused widespread disruption by being automatically deployed to all client machines. This incident is a prime example of a software supply chain vulnerability. According to the Australian Curriculum: Digital Technologies version 9 (AC9TDI10P13), students must develop cybersecurity threat models and explore vulnerabilities in software, users, and the supply chain. We have a comprehensive course that highlights and teaches students about these topics: Modelling Cyber Threats- https://lnkd.in/gNCNvwNm #ITOutage #SoftwareSupplyChain #CrowdStrike #DigitalTechnologies #Education
