Extremely unlikely. This isn't the first blowup Crowdstrike has had; though it's the worst (IIRC), Crowdstrike is "too big to fail" with tons of enterprise customers who have insane switching costs, even after this nonsense.
Unfortunately for all of us, Crowdstrike will be around for awhile.
- zik 2y agoBusinesses 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.
- ajscanlan 2y agoit would be crazy not to at least investigate migration paths away from Crowdstrike, or better redundancies for yourself
- hello_moto 2y agoCybersecurity 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.

- hello_moto 2y agoThat 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.
