Listen "Long-term lessons from global tech outage"
Episode Synopsis
In July 2024, what is being called the biggest global tech outage was caused not by a malicious actor but a cybersecurity company. A mere 40 KB faulty update pushed by CrowdStrike caused millions of devices running Windows operating system to crash. As the dust settles down, it becomes only timely to discuss the long-term lessons from the tech outage. In this episode of All Things Policy, Lokendra engages in a conversation with Dr Kailash Nadh (CTO of Zerodha) to distill the key lessons. They also discuss Kailash’s ideas on software as a discipline and his thoughts on open source software. Kailash's decades of experience as a software tinkerer combined with his passion for ideating and analysing long-term trends brings fresh insights to this discussion on tech outage.
