CrowdStrike accepts award for ‘most epic fail’ after global IT outage. Just 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.

The awards took place at Def Con, right after the Black Hat conference where CrowdStrike had one of the biggest booths, giving out free T-shirts and action figures.

 During the conference, CrowdStrike's president, Michael Sentonas, personally accepted the award and expressed his regret for the incident. He acknowledged that the award was not something to be proud of but emphasized the importance of taking responsibility for mistakes and learning from them. Sentonas stated that he would display the award at CrowdStrike headquarters as a reminder to the team that failure is unacceptable.
