Conflict in Ukraine
Release Date: March 10th, 2022 |Revision Date: September 7th, 2022
Aptitude Software is closely monitoring the current military conflict in Ukraine and Russia. We do not have any infrastructure or employees in either Ukraine or Belarus nor are we reliant on any third-party service organization or vendor service provided out of these countries. Additionally, our organization has taken steps to establish the required cyber resilience in the event of a spill-over of cyber-attacks, destructive malware, misinformation and other threats outside of the conflict zone per guidance provided by CISA (www.cisa.gov/uscert) and other governmental agencies. We have enhanced our cyber vigilance against these threats, updated our already robust business continuity plans to reflect current threat scenarios, and reinforced the same with our employees and other stakeholders. These measures will ensure the continued protection of our employees, offices, clients and information assets, and to mitigate any threats in a timely manner. We will provide additional notification directly to our client contacts in the event of any specific risks or impact to our services adhering to our contractual commitments and incident response policies.
On Friday, July 19, 2024, morning, reports surfaced globally of Microsoft Windows operating system users encountering the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) following the latest update from CrowdStrike. This widespread issue has severely impacted critical services, including telecommunications, banking, airline and railway operations, supermarkets, hospitals, and major news networks.
For those clients concerned about the impact of this outage on Aptitude Software, we do NOT leverage any services directly from CrowdStrike and do not expect any direct impact due to the issue.
Our client facing services are currently up and running as usual. While certain Microsoft Azure (MS Azure) hosted client services did experience Microsoft service outages possibly linked to the CrowdStrike issue earlier during the day, we have no outages or impact at the present time. Our Cyber Security Operations teams are continually monitoring cloud service providers (including MS Azure) utilized for the delivery of our cloud services.
