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.

    The logs they send to their cloud (which is just Splunk in AWS) seems pretty transparent. In fact you can pull the raw logs directly from them via S3 buckets to see exactly what data is uploaded. When you say it's a black box what portion of the product are you referring to?

    What exactly was the failure you're talking about?

    Could you maybe take your political arguments somewhere else? This isn't a political thread, and yet another debate about Russia and Crowdstrike will easily drown out any other discussion we could possibly have about this New Yorker article. Even if you don't mean it to be, this might as well be trolling.
