Two months after the unprecedented incident in which millions of Windows computers were taken offline after a bug in the software update, the company’s chief executive is expected to give an explanation to the U.S. Congress today, Tuesday.

Adam Meyers, a top executive of CrowdStrike, will appear before the congressmen. He is expected to apologize for the error and stress his company’s determination to ensure it does not happen again.
