Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike has again apologised for the global IT outage sparked by a flawed update, as a company executive faced questions from legislators in the US.

Adam Meyers, a senior vice president at the firm, told the House of Representatives cybersecurity subcommittee that the company was “deeply sorry” and “determined to prevent this from ever happening again”.
