Regarding the CrowdStrike global IT outage.

Please be informed that Global IT™ is a registered trademark of Global IT Communications, Inc. with the US Patent and Trademark Office, and we vigorously enforce the correct usage of our trademark.

While there has been confusion in the media regarding “Global IT™ outages,” we wish to clarify that neither Global IT™ nor any of our clients were affected by the recent CrowdStrike outage. Throughout this period, Global IT™ maintained uninterrupted operations.

According to reports, the recent CrowdStrike outage occurred due to a widespread disruption in its services, affecting customers’ ability to access and utilize their endpoint protection solutions. The outage reportedly stemmed from an update designed to target malicious system communication tools in cyber attacks, triggering a “logic error” resulting in an operating system crash on Windows systems (Mac and Linux users were unaffected). A logic error means a mistake has been made in coding and caused a bug that can cause the program to malfunction. The update was designed as a patch, meaning it was meant to improve the program rather than cause issues.

Global IT™ and OrangeISP.com maintained Cloud operations seamlessly without fault.

Global IT™ evaluated CrowdStrike as a potential vendor but did not select or recommend them due to specific technical considerations informed by our extensive 20+ years of experience in enterprise technical infrastructure and systems.

Global IT™ is a prominent privately held technology management firm specializing in MSP (Managed Services Provider), MSSP (Managed Security Services Provider), CSP (Cloud Services Provider), and other related services since 2004. Our service offerings are designed to support our clients’ technology needs effectively.
