That doesn't work in the business they're in. They need to roll out definition updates quickly. Their clients won't be happy if they get compromised while CrowdStrike was still doing the dogfooding or phased rollout of the update that would've prevented it.

Well clearly we have incontrovertible evidence now (if it was needed) that YOLO-pushing insufficiently tested updates to everyone at once does not work either. This is being called in many places (righfully) the largest IT outage in history. How many billions will be the cost? How many people died? So yes, clearly not the correct way to operate.
