Local time on the 19th,Some applications and services of Microsoft Corporation in the United States have experienced access delays, incomplete functions or "blue screen" problems, causing transportation, medical, financial, media and other industries in many countries around the world to be unable to operate normally. Repair work is still ongoingThe massive outage was related to a software update released by Crowdstrike, a security technology company that provides services to Microsoft.

Currently, Zhongji has cooperated with Microsoft to restore most of its services, but some cybersecurity experts believe that the long-term impact of this incident still needs to be further evaluated. In addition, experts believe that this incident highlights the vulnerability of the global Internet infrastructure and that we need to remain vigilant to the complexity of the global information technology system and the potential risks of various fields that are highly dependent on network infrastructure.

Security software is bound to the operating system to form an impact transmission chain

Li Xiaodong, Vice Chairman of the Internet Society of China and Director of Fuxi Think Tank:In order to improve the security of user software systems, security software is often deeply integrated with the operating system. Therefore, once there is a problem with the security software, it will often cause failures at the user's operating system level, making the user's system unusable. Many airline flights were affected because the aviation, transportation, finance and other service fields have high requirements for network security, so they will also make full use of network security software systems to strengthen and protect their own corporate service systems. Therefore, this incident still has a certain impact on people's production and life.

Some experts analyzed that Zhongji should have conducted sufficient testing before releasing the update to ensure its stability and security. Other experts said that the industry's poor emergency response to software updates was one of the reasons why the problem has not been solved for a long time. In fact, a large number of software on the market have been unable to be used normally after updates, but most of them have not caused major losses. After this problem occurred, all kinds of software companies should take it as a warning and publish alternative repair plans in a timely manner.

The entire industry should work together to address cybersecurity issues

Li Xiaodong, Vice Chairman of the Internet Society of China and Director of Fuxi Think Tank:How to enhance the security of the operating system itself is very important. In recent years, many security features have been integrated into the operating system, and some general security features are already available. However, it is still not enough to deal with some security incidents that are changing and innovating at any time. In addition, how to control and manage the software systems in the industrial chain to avoid a greater impact on the operating system itself also requires the joint efforts of the operating system and the entire industrial chain and the entire industry.
