On July 19, 2024, a faulty update from a leading cybersecurity company (Crowdstrike) caused a chain reaction that grounded numerous airlines, postponed hospital operations, and restricted bank functions worldwide. This incident highlights the vulnerability of global IT systems to outages, even without external attacks.
In today’s interconnected world, robust IT documentation is essential for quickly recovering from unexpected global cloud and network incidents, such as the recent one involving a major cybersecurity company.
While IT documentation with i-doit can’t prevent incidents like this, it significantly aids in swiftly restoring IT systems and resuming normal operations. In critical situations, i-doit ensures that essential information is readily accessible.

- Which IT services are impacted by the outage, allowing for targeted user notifications.
- How to prioritize the restoration of IT services quickly and efficiently.
