CrowdStrike recovers 99% of Windows sensors after global IT outage

CrowdStrike has reported that 99% of Windows sensors for its Falcon platform are now online following a global outage caused by a faulty update on July 19. 

In a Wednesday update on its Remediation and Guidance Hub site, the cybersecurity company stated, “using a week-over-week comparison, ~99% of Windows sensors are online as of July 29 at 5pm PT, compared to before the content update.

“We typically see a variance of ~1% week-over-week in sensor connections,” the vendor added.  

This update comes amid growing questions about CrowdStrike’s potential liability from the incident.
