CrowdStrike is one of the world\u2019s foremost internet and cybersecurity companies. It has a market capitalization of $100 billion and more than 10,000 employees. It\u2019s so big that, when it pushed a bad software update to its customers in 2024, it caused the largest\u00a0internet outage in history, costing major U.S. companies $5.4 billion.<\/p>\n
