Microsoft’s recent global outage has caused disruptions in the aviation sector in India. A software bug led to issues with flight operations, affecting several airlines in the country. However, the financial sector has remained insulated from the outage, according to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
The glitch in Microsoft’s software had a significant impact on aviation in India, with airlines facing challenges in managing their flight schedules and operations. This disruption highlighted the importance of having robust IT systems in place to prevent such incidents in the future.
Despite the disruptions in the aviation sector, the financial sector in India has not been affected by the Microsoft outage. The RBI reassured that banks and financial institutions were not impacted by the software bug, as they have their own systems in place to ensure smooth operations.
The incident serves as a reminder for organizations to prioritize cybersecurity and invest in reliable IT infrastructure to mitigate the risks of system failures and disruptions. It also underscores the need for contingency plans to handle unexpected technical glitches and ensure business continuity.
