You're a fairly traditional AV type of guy I take it :ROFL:

I'm more of a Windows Defender kind of guy. I've been around the block enough times to know that most of these AV apps are just bloatware with questionable abilities. I can't really comment on the efficacy of Cloudstrike though, I know nothing about it apart from what I've read over the last few days. Obviously it seems to be some sort of mixture between traditional AV detection and intrusion detection, but judging from the pricing it seems like it's mostly large corporates that use it, not small to medium sized businesses.
 
No Apple again was 4 years ahead of everyone else...

A comparison, with Crowdstrike running on macOS.

Computer still boots with borked system extensions.

If the manages to computer boots and connects to the network, you can fix a lot of problems remotely. That is why this windows issue is such a stuff up.
 
Not in the slightest. Read about it online, hugged Tux and continued to enjoy my day as much as possible.

Guessed
Yeah EDR is more nextgen stuff (Endpoint Detection and Response)

Detected a lateral movement by stealing a password hash? *Isolate and disable all network traffic on the machine*
Detect malware encrypting disk contents? *Kill the process and shutdown the machine*

Crowdstrike borked Linux machines a bit 2 months ago (only latest kernel though)
 
at my current place no, but when I spoke to my old comrades,
they still running around with memory sticks and images trying to fix this sh#tsh0w called clownstike,

and as for those that say it wont happen to them, if your machine is connected to the internet in some way shape of form,
it CAN happen, either from the fiber lines being cut , either from the newfangled cloud deciding to rain on us, or from a dozen small services nobody cares about taking something big out.
 
Yes, Was affected by all the Linux guys bragging about how good it is...
 
I work for an MSP, we had over 100 servers down and 5 times that amount of desktop users.
The update kicked in right in the middle of our business day on Friday and at that time no one knew what was happening.
It sure was a long weekend spent getting servers online, finding bitlocker keys and swearing about Azure's lack of a console for VM's.
