That's still an outage for those key systems.

It is an outage for the monitoring system, not the system that it monitors.
I think a reasonable protocol is to stop using any apps when your cyber protection crashes. Why have that suite at all otherwise?
I agree for some systems. For others, stopping the system has bigger consequences than not having cyber protection for a few hours because of a bug that’ll get fixed. For example, hospitals, or possibly Delta Airlines.
