An event in the past has put into question the paradigm, according to which the update is on-going operating systems is a synonym of safety and reliability. Last week, a malfunction of the system, CrowdStrike, the cast in our industry is to the global aviation in the chaos, with one notable exception: Southwest Airlines.
While the vast majority of airlines, was banned (word for word), to be able to handle the tasks in the critical as well as the planning of the crew, or tickets, Southwest Airlines has continued to be operated without any problems.
The key to the sustainability of the earth. In Windows 3.1, an operating system launched by Microsoft in the year 1992. This is the choice of technology, which is able to look anakronike, it turned out to be providencë. Obsolete system, which has not received updates for a decade, provided there is paradoxically a protective shield to the padepërtueshme against the has that affected systems are the most modern.
However, the landscape of the Southwest is not an isolated story in the panorama of the major companies from the united states. The remnant of the giants of the goods, as well as UPS and FedEx are also refrain from collapse by the use of operating systems to be longer in areas critical to the operations of their own. In particular, the Southwest using Windows 95 for the management of staff, one of the options, which in the past had caused dissatisfaction among the employees, but now it's proven to be a movement of the diamond.
This event is opened for a public debate about the security, cybersecurity, and reliability of the system it inherited. While the use of the operating systems of the out-dated may expose to the risk of the well-known safety and security, on the other hand, seems to provide a kind of immunity against certain types of keqfunksionimeve and modern.
