- CrowdStrike President George Kurtz accepted the "Most Epic Fail" award at this year's Pwnies, a cybersecurity industry awards show. Kurtz acknowledged that the company's incident response efforts during the SolarWinds breach were not as effective as they should have been, describing it as the "most epic fail" of his career.

- The award was given to CrowdStrike for its failure to detect the SolarWinds supply chain attack, which allowed Russian hackers to infiltrate numerous high-profile organizations. Kurtz took responsibility for the lapse, stating that the company should have done better in identifying and mitigating the threat.

- Despite the setback, Kurtz emphasized CrowdStrike's commitment to continuous improvement and learning from its mistakes. He pledged that the company would apply the lessons from the SolarWinds incident to strengthen its security solutions and better protect its clients in the future.
