How and why CrowdStrike has a massive market share

[Redaktion]

CrowdStrike's recent failure has been reported as the "Largest IT outage in history," which leaves many to wonder why so many critical points of the global infrastructure rely on their platform. CrowdStrike's cyber security services are responsible for 298 of the Fortune 500 companies, 538 of the Fortune 1000 companies, and 8 out of 10 of the top financial firms.

Seems really iffy that code can't/wasn't staged; pretty standard in the industry, for decades now. "Bleeding edge," is not something any enterprise should ever dip their toes in when it's at the OS-impacting level.

IMHO: is the fundamental FAILURE of "any code can over write any code" that OS vendors fail to properly address.

Simply detecting a change after the event is often times to late.
