Crowdstrike (coincidentally of 2016 election game, and Ukraine controversy ),is an application that provides a specific type of security for Windows systems.
Think of a deadbolt. Only a few companies make a special deadbolt, majority of companies need this deadbolt, so they'll use one of these few companies. One of the big "deadbolt" companies is Crowdstrike.
Crowdstrike pushed an update/fix/patch to all their deadbolts across the world, and it broke. But to fix it, you need to get into your house/building, but you can't, because the deadbolt is broke. And even if you could, some companies have tens of thousands of deadbolts that need fixed.
