that if the fix is bad, the damage is limited. But for some reason, the rate
limiter was turned off and the update went out to everyone.
Is this true though? They've released a Post Incident article:
https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/falcon-content-update-preliminary-post-incident-report/ https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/falcon-content-update-preli...
in which they state:
> How Do We Prevent This From Happening Again? Implement a staggered
deployment strategy for Rapid Response Content in which updates are
gradually deployed to larger portions of the sensor base, starting with
a canary deployment.
So it seems, if I understand this correctly, they've just implemented
the rate limiter as a response to this incident.
