Oh man, I would browse while on the shitter at work. It used to be one of my OGs. A lot of tinfoil. And you’d get the deep dives that didn’t feel politically motivated (compared to today).
Then, the Trumpeting.
Like everything else not stapled down circa 2016, it was an easy target for the Russian firehose of falsehood: an entire community of people wanting to believe some alternative bullshit.
I work for one of these behemoths, and there are a lot of adults in the room. When we began our transition off the prior, well known corporate AV, I never even heard of crowd strike.
The adults were asking reasonable questions: why such an aggressive migration timeline? Why can’t we have our vendor recommended exclusion lists applied? Why does this need to be installed here when previously agentless technologies was sufficient? Why is crowd strike spending monies on a Superbowl ad instead of investing back into the technology?
Either something fucky is a foot, as in this was mandated to our higher ups to m make the switch (why?), or, as is typically the case, the decision was made already and this ‘due diligence’ is all window dressing to CYA.
Who gives a shit about fines on SLAs if your vendor is going to foot the bill.
