Six months on, what have organisations learned from the biggest software outage the world has seen?
In July last year, a mass outage wreaked havoc on businesses across every sector, impacting end-users around the world.
No one was spared, from airlines to retailers, manufacturers to government services. The outage cost Fortune 500 companies an estimated $5.4 billion.
But six months on from the cyber incident that shook the world, what has been learnt by businesses? And are they any closer to preventing an incident of this scale from happening again?
To find out, we surveyed software development professionals at 400 organisations with $10m+ revenue in the US, UK, and Germany to discover just how prepared they were for the incident and how it impacted their future plans, investments, third-party provider relationships, and much much more.
