DESCRIPTION:On July 19\, 2024 Crowstrike issued an update for its IDS syste
 m for the Windows operating system. This fateful update happened to cause 
 crashes of IT systems that relied on the Windows/Crowdstrike around the wo
 rld with dire consequences of closing entire airports hampering health car
 e and ending up costing potentially billions of USDs.\n\nA common theme am
 ong those whos operations ground to a stop during this outage was\, admitt
 edly with 20/20 hindsight\, was a reliance on one particular combination o
 f technologies. Windows and crowdstrike are\, presumably\, both fine techn
 ologies chosen by the largest organizations on the planet. However\, they 
 are not the only combination of OS and IDS capable of operating\, even in 
 high stakes environments.\n\nThis talk will discuss how the outcome of the
  July 19 event and similar events causing mass outages could be less disru
 ptive by introducing a measure of diversity in the technical solutions. We
  will also discuss ways to create diverse solutions while minimizing the e
 xtra cost.
