Likely not by the people who make the decisions to purchase this. They're usually hearing more from the marketing/sales people than from those actually having to deal with this.
Personally, I don't expect this to make much of a difference, if any.

While you're probably right, I'm hoping ClownStrike's court results so absolutely dwarf their insurance coverage that it's nearly company ending. ie something to actually get them to improve things, not just generate empty PR platitudes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiL2AjOtjZI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiL2AjOtjZI
- vladvasiliu 2y agoMeh. We (techies) always knew the risks of running random crap in kernel space, especially when it runs junk it downloads from the internet. So, I expect this to be spun somehow along the lines of "sure all our boxes were down, but look, you've brought them all back up, didn't you? Now think about all the bad guys this protects us against! Of course the risk was worth it!". Also, "everybody does this! we couldn't have known!" "security people" are scared shitless of the whole "the world is ending! there are threats everywhere!" discourse that vendors peddle. The less technical, the more scared they are. Many of these people don't really understand what they're talking about and what compromises their decisions actually imply. Losing a day of work is simply dwarfed by "all your data is gone!".
- davidmurdoch 2y agoI like to poke the security bears at my company by suggesting that the security team is actually a double agent team whose real employer is our competitor. They never find it funny for some reason.
