Thats a good way to phrase it. About 1/4 way through the article I realized I wasn't anywhere close to the end.

#6I thought it was going to be Crowdstrike. But I suppose that hasn’t happened yet.
Whatever tech, whatever assets, whatever they have, you can do as you will, I would need to have my head in the sand to be doing business with them. Too much smoke not to be at least a little fire. Just my opinion of course!
Edit: One of those times practicality clashes with politics apparently. Can’t say anything bad about the company that failed to protect high profile clients, then used that failure to help start the Trump/Russia fiasco before quietly walking their statements back - because to be aware of that would mean supporting the bad man.

Could you elaborate on Crowdstrike?

Just purchased their product as it is at the top of the EDR market. Could you explain your comment?

As CTO I looked at it as well. The product isn’t the issue. Well, let me fix that by saying if you don’t mind your all data being entirely entirely open to your cloud protection system and their partners and contractors in a way that is completely black box, there is nothing wrong with the product.
It’s the practices and their work with the FBI that came up from the 2016 election and their protection of the DNC when they were allegedly hacked by Russia, statements they made then retracted, and everything that has come since are the issues. Like I said, maybe nothing, but a lot of smoke. At the very least, I don’t want my infosec suite to have such a high profile for failure to protect incidents.
Too much for me and my company. We went a larger name alternative and deployed some more open and transparent solutions where we could. I’m expecting a rebrand of the CrowdStrike name sooner than later.
