I'm curious if that will actually happen as these companies need to use something to check their compliance box.

  Correct. To move away there have to be alternatives. Who here is building the alternative?

  Yeah I think it will be quickly forgotten. Most people already have where I work. It was just another IT fail in a long line of them.

    This was what I kept thinking about when it happened. Every job I've ever had has had days of some system or other being down for some amount of time. Hell, even WFH has put me offline when I've had extended power outage after a major storm. The only thing different about this was that it was all the companies at the same time because of one glitch. For all of the companies that did not use this system, it was just another day of the week.

  There are competitors in this space. Palo Alto Networks comes to mind. Whether competitors have same issues as ClownStrike remains to be seen.

    The two problems I see with this story are 1) These types of products cause incidents all the time, this was just a very high impact one that happened to affect everybody all at once. 2) Their product is very good compared to the competitors. All products in this space are black boxes, but CS is one of the least black-boxy, the alerts it produces are decent, the tooling is comes with is especially good (from an operator perspective), and the reporting it produces is exactly the sort of thing decision makers in big enterprise love to see. I doubt there’s going to be much churn from this, definitely not an existential amount. As much as I personally can’t stand the organisation, I think they absorbed most of the bad press on behalf of all the service providers they took offline.
