WASHINGTON. CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz issued an apology for a major global tech outage that disrupted various industries on Friday, promising a thorough recovery process for affected customers.

In an interview on NBC News’ “Today” program, Kurtz expressed his regret, stating, “We’re deeply sorry for the impact that we’ve caused to customers, to travelers, to anyone affected by this, including our company.” The outage, which affected numerous sectors, has led to significant operational challenges worldwide.

Kurtz assured that many customers were in the process of rebooting their systems, with most coming back online. “Many of the customers are rebooting the system and it’s coming up and it’ll be operational,” Kurtz said. However, he acknowledged that some systems might require additional time to recover, noting, “It could be some time for some systems that won’t automatically recover.”

CrowdStrike is committed to ensuring that all customers achieve full recovery, according to Kurtz. The company is working diligently to address the issues and restore normal operations as quickly as possible.
