Businesses would be crazy to continue with Crowdstrike after this. It's going to cause billions in losses to a huge number of companies. If I was a risk assessment officer at a large company I'd be speed dialling every alternative right now.



Cybersecurity industry has regular and annual security testing/competitions done by various Organizations that simulates tons of attacks.

Vendors are tested against these cases and graded with their effectiveness.

I heard Crowdstrike is "best-in-market" for good reasons as others who have more deep knowledge of the industry have shared in this thread.


> I heard Crowdstrike is "best-in-market"

A friend of mine who used to work for Crowdstrike tells me they're a hot mess internally and it's amazing they haven't had worse problems than this already.


That sounds like any other companies I have ever worked for: looks great from the outside but a hot mess on the inside.

I have never worked for a company where everything is smooth sailing.

What I noticed is that the smaller the company, the less hot mess they are but at the same time they're also struggling to pay the bill because they don't innovate fast.


it would be crazy not to at least investigate migration paths away from Crowdstrike, or better redundancies for yourself
