CrowdStrike accepts award for ‘most epic fail’ after global IT outage
Reading Time: < 1 minutesJust a few weeks after its software update triggered a global IT meltdown, CrowdStrike isn’t shying away from the spotlight. In fact, the company’s president Michael Sentonas even took the stage at the Pwnie Awards to accept the award for Most Epic Fail.
Footage of Sentonas’ acceptance speech has been shared online; similar to the conference attendees who seemed willing to give CrowdStrike a second chance, the award audience sounded enthusiastic and appreciative of Sentonas for showing up to acknowledge the company’s mistakes.
The organizers explained that this final award was a last-minute switch, because… how could CrowdStrike not win? Then, as a comically large trophy was brought on stage to loud cheers, Sentonas admitted this is ‘definitely not the award to be proud of receiving.’
‘I think the team was surprised when I said straightaway that I would get it,’ Sentonas continued. ‘Because we got this horribly wrong, we’ve said this a number of different times, and it’s super important to own it when you do things well, it’s super important to own it when you do things horribly wrong.’
Sentonas said he’d be taking the trophy back to CrowdStrike HQ and displaying it in a prominent place, as a reminder that ‘our goal is to protect people, and we got this wrong, and I want to make sure everybody understands these things can’t happen.’
