Microsoft stepping up plans to make Windows more resilient to buggy software after botched CrowdStrike update took down millions of PCs and servers in a global IT outage.

The tech giant has intensified talks with partners about adapting the security procedures around its operating system to better withstand the kind of software error that crashed 8.5 million Windows devices on July 19 .

Microsoft will host a summit next month for government representatives and cyber security companies, including CrowdStrike , to “discuss concrete steps we will all take to improve security and resiliency for our joint customers”.
