Cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike suffered a major outage on Friday, the company told NBC, impacting businesses globally.
The outage resulted from an issue with the latest update, the company said. Crowdstrike is now in the process of rolling back that update globally.
The confirmation came after widespread reports of technical issues across the world, with many linked to Microsoft products. The U.S. tech giant confirmed earlier on Friday that its cloud services had been mostly restored after it suffered an outage.
“CrowdStrike is aware of reports of crashes on Windows hosts related to the Falcon Sensor,” Crowdstrike said in a recorded message.
CNBC parent company NBC Universal is one of the businesses affected by the Crowdstrike outage.
