> there was no good reason at all why CrowdStrike Their business is corporate spyware to surveil employees, ofcourse they'll use any tactic to make it work, that's the why. And their EULA states there is no liability for the company: https://www.crowdstrike.com/terms-conditions/ https://www.crowdstrike.com/terms-conditions/ Dirty policies on top of dirty practices.

>Their business is corporate spyware to surveil employees What?! Anything you do on your corporate provided laptop is always gonna be logged by IT for security in every large company everywhere, that's news to nobody, but your company doesn't care that you use your corpo laptop to book your vacation, IT has better things to do than narc on you for that. If your boss wants to actually spy on you they don't need Crowdstrike, there's other SW dedicated for that depending on the laws in your jurisdiction but that' not what Crowdstrike is for. If you want complete privacy from your employer, just use your personal machine for your private activities instead of your work laptop, why is this so hard?

  Speak for yourself. There are still companies who don't treat their employees like idiots and actually trust them. Let's not normalise pervasive surveillance.

    >There are still companies who don't treat their employees like idiots and actually trust them. Yeah sure, but wow many of those are large non-tech companies? You massively overestimate the tech competency of the average PC user if you think it's normal in most companies to not have security monitoring solutions in place or over the internat activity. In our latest phishing test IT did, several users fell for the trap, despite it being a tech company. There's always gonna be someone careless one day and companies want insurance policies against that. Having such solutions in place doesn't mean the company doesn't trust you, it's more like that old Russian proverb, "trust but verify", and for ticking security compliance boxing as an insurance policy. Everyone makes mistakes, it's only human. So more like, speak for yourself, if you think your internet activity at work isn't logged anywhere.

    I think there’s an inflection point where the company has grow so big it becomes impossible to trust every individual employee. It won’t be about distrusting anyone in specific either, but something will go wrong for which you need to be monitoring every PC to find out what is going wrong.

  Yep, there are better tools for spying, like Teramind and Aktivtrak.

There are better tools for spying like Teramind and Aktivtrak. Crowdstrike would make a bad spying tool. I guess there is remote CMD? And you can like, see all installed programs. But so can SCCM/Intune from MS or another RMM like Datto that IT uses to manage PCs...
