Iowa’s critical IT systems have been restored and state services have resumed as normal in the wake of the global outage caused by a software update from CrowdStrike, the state’s governor said.
Iowa uses CrowdStrike software for malware and virus protection.
“Iowa is fortunate to have robust cybersecurity capabilities. Today is a great example of the importance of investing in services that protect state infrastructure and improve service to Iowans,” Gov. Kim Reynolds said in a statement.
Other states and cities also reported disruptions due to the outage.
