CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz announced that 97% of Windows sensors are back online following a global IT outage caused by a faulty configuration update for its Falcon Sensor on Windows systems.

Mac and Linux systems remained unaffected by the issue.
CrowdStrike reverted the defect on Friday and utilized automated recovery techniques and partner assistance to speed up the resolution.
The company has published a preliminary incident report detailing the cause and outlining measures to prevent future occurrences.
