and a warm welcome to you, our viewers around the world. i'm michael ok. global computer systems are slowly coming back online after a massive tech outage cause chaos and confusion around the world from broadcast for years to banks, stock exchanges, and airlines. the outage also affected health care systems with many hospitals, forced to cancel surgeries, the head of the cyber security firm, which costs the crisis says he's deeply sorry for the disruptions, which were traced back to a flawed software update. the so called blue screen of death. this dreaded error message indicates a complete system crash on a microsoft windows computer. and suddenly it's all over the globe. in airports. supermarkets, even at disneyland, as an update rolled down by cyber security fin,
12:02 pm
crowd striking has been linked to the outage. the unintentional disruption has caused the chaos of a hospitals around the world. currently in the middle of this microsoft outage, computers are black. we have the screen of death. we do have one camera phones that are i phones which were allowed to give medications on. but other than that, we don't have access to patient charts, and this is the 1st thing you have to imagine that in the hospitals have, don't know which a patient is actually line where, what, what medication he's receiving, coming, what operation his plan to get this information is simply not available in the midst of approval. the cyber outage also disrupted global ad travel, massive cues and frustrated passengers, as thousands of flights were cancelled and tens of thousands delayed. i arrived at the airport and saw this long queue. the staff informed us that the system was down and there was nothing they could do. we just had to stand and wait on people,
12:03 pm
but sounds like once they've been worrying is that one company has such an impact on the global economy and the life of the planet. but the, the, the ceo of that one company quickly issued an apology, were deeply sorry for the impact that we've caused to customers to travelers to anyone affected by this, including our company. so we know what the issue is, we're resolving and have resolved the issue. now it's recovering systems that are out there. but given the sheer scale of the impact, it is unclear just how long it will take to recover those systems. spend her period is the lead for cyber security policy and resilience at interface. a european thing, tax, specializing in information technology. i asked him how long it might take to get global i to services back up and running. so i think that can take quite some time this. some of the systems that can automatically be updated that will revert back
12:04 pm
to functional mode problems. things need to be done manually. and some of the pages where it's difficult to access them where it will take maybe days more weeks. and then on top of that, of course you asked the operational delays, excuse me, just work and but you have to work on all the backups that you have. so we're going to see like days and weeks of subverting back to normal. i would say in the simplest terms possible, how could a routine software update go so wrong? well, the update was not the arrow free and it won't tested before it was pushed all the computers worldwide. something that's a pretty stomach process that shouldn't be done here. and that's why in the end of the day, they pushed all of the company pushed all the updates that was able to bring all the computers. and what you have to know about the security software is they are deeply rooted in the computer science model privileges, and that's why they can cost of travel. so let's be really clear about this. what you're saying is essentially they didn't follow the normal procedures. well,
12:05 pm
as it looks right now, this should have never passed the quantity test, so you can assume that they didn't do the quality test or they didn't do it correctly. and there was a reference to this in our report, but the question bears repeating, how can it be that one company essentially has enough power to bring down so many of the world's computers? it's the stuff of hollywood movies. well, i wouldn't let it like that. i would look at it like we didn't realize everything in our lives and everything runs of software. and most of the software to standardize, to use microsoft running like as of running a lot of different software that deep access, especially i to security software and windows companies on the so many computers when something goes wrong with that software, it was costing arrow worldwide. but does not depend on this one software of the good done any other i to security software. which likely to happen with this
12:06 pm
company is a very good question. um, they're, they're facing, liability depends on the initial loss of the where they have to pay fines and everything. i think as of now, it really stands to reason that that this company was alive it, but what the damages will be with it within the days and weeks to unfold. uh, definitely a huge blow to their reputation. and the trust that governments and companies happens, the company spend one more question for you. how do we ensure that this doesn't ever happen again? i don't think, i don't think you can do that. i mean, we know that quality assurance is a huge part. so for updating, if they haven't done it, there's nothing more you can do is they don't for those dollars, you can find that we've been regulated by the end of the day. it kind of happened again, and we was lucky. so you'd have to get an all that stuff that is us friend, happy cybersecurity expert from berlin. we thank you very much for your time and
