Kuwaiti Minister of Commerce and Industry Omar Al-Omar said Friday that CrowdStrike company fully backs the Kuwaiti government's response to the global information technology (IT) outage. He said in a press statement that he had received a phone call from CrowdStrike's Regional Director Ibrahim Badawi, who quoted the company's CEO George Kurtz as supporting Kuwait's response to the incident. He added that Badawi had briefed him on the latest developments of the glitch and confirmed the company's backing to Kuwaiti government departments that use the company's software out of its belief in necessary cooperation with its partners to overcome such challenges. The minister added that the company had apologized for the IT outage and affirmed that work was going on to fix any technical consequences. Source: Kuwait News Agency
