#2Good. For their utter incompetence and willful negligence the company should be forced into bankruptcy.

Hell yeah! And the people who rely on their software to detect intrusions - we don't care!
They have liability and it should be somehow handled (I don't know how, I am not a lawyer/finance guy) but without losing sight of what CS provides to a company.

Crowdstrike isn't the only one of its kind. If they fail from lawsuits, others will take their place.

Yeah, and it will cost a shitload of time and effort to make the change.

They can replace with an alternative. Crowdstrike was installed via an automated manner at any organisation which has the scale to merit it (right?), therefore replacing it with a competitor should be easy.

Zero quality controls, leading to them releasing kernel crashing updates for RHEL and then Windows in the span of a few months? Nah fuck 'em. Such negligence doesn't deserve to be in business. And if they're that negligent with quality, how would anyone trust them that the software actually does what it should?

Do you work in cybersecurity? Because if you do and you did a comparison of the solutions to choose one that is tailored to your needs and did an awful amount of tests to check if all your OSes and installed apps do not suffer from CS and worked on eradicating the false positives -- then please enlighten me how to make a massive change on 200+k machines bypassing all this effort.
Sure, if you have CS on 3 machines you can expertly issue such comments.
> And if they're that negligent with quality, how would anyone trust them that the software actually does what it should?
Because the ones that actually use the product know its pros and cons.
I have no attachment to CS and would be happy if we lived in the world you imagine - a world where managing IT and security is a matter of pressing a button. But we do not live in such a world and I do not comment on medical studies just because I read an article in Vogue about it.
I am rather emotional because such comments assume that people in cybersecurity are a bunch of idiots who have no idea about how to do their job. But thank you for showing us the path.
EDIT: I just had a look at your profile and you are in IT. Shame on you for not giving a shit about the reality of the work of people you sell your solutions to.
