Why would the TSA have anything to do with Delta’s IT operations?
In March 2023, the TSA added a cybersecurity emergency amendment to its cybersecurity programs. The amendment required airlines like Delta to develop “policies and controls to ensure that operational technology systems can continue to safely operate in the event that an information technology system has been compromised,” CrowdStrike’s complaint said.
So CrowStrikes strategy is “you installed CrowStrike while TSA told you not to install it, as was clearly proven by us taking down your network, so we’re not at fault”?

Guess that’s why.

That’s some serious scope creep there by TSA. I’m quite sure that airlines’ business continuity is wholly unrelated to transportation security.
Travelers were definitely securely on the ground. Upset, but secure.
I think it’s pretty reasonable for a company as big as delta to wait a little bit to see how a patch rolls out before upgrading.
