Following a massive global outage that affected banks, airlines, telecoms, and even retail stores believed to have been caused by Microsoft, the Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) has assured passengers that flights won’t be affected.
Earlier Friday an update from a cybersecurity company affected Microsoft Cloud Services updates, causing the system to crash.
Although several airports internationally were affected, all six of the airports that ACSA manages in the country remained unaffected.
ACSA clarified that it relied on cutting-edge, state-of-the-art cyber protection capabilities to ensure the security and continuity of operations, adding that its airport management team continued to monitor the situation closely in view of the widespread impact.
ACSA Spokesperson Ntokozo Mazibuko: “ACSA does not use CrowdStrike services. We want to assure all stakeholders and the public that the ACSA airport network remains unaffected by this outage, with operations running as normal.”
