CrowdStrike's recent data outage has raised questions about its potential impact on various industries, including cryptocurrency companies. Blockchain researcher and former Naijacrypto CEO Chiagozie Iwu offered insights into how this disruption could impact crypto companies and made recommendations to mitigate the risks involved.
Iwu noted that blockchain-native companies operating on decentralized networks are more resilient to such disruptions. However, he warned that centralized crypto platforms could be vulnerable to similar issues in the future and recommended a move to decentralized cloud-based architectures.
Quantum Economics analyst Olumide Adesina stated that this event reinforces the validity of blockchain as an alternative to traditional IT systems. Iwu said the CrowdStrike outage is unlikely to lead to large-scale regulatory changes, as existing regulations already address cybersecurity issues.
Iwu highlighted the potential impacts on crypto firms' trading activities and revenue streams and recommended implementing alternative endpoint security solutions and additional layers of security to mitigate the risks associated with the CrowdStrike data outage.
