@ainmosni I spent 40 years in the IT industry including 10 as an industry analyst. I'm well versed in modern platforms and CI/CD. Yet, this suprises me. Given how widespread this is, it seems that cursory testing on the part of CrowdStrike, it's customers, and Microsoft should have caught this.
Much of tbe blame is the fire and forget mentality of cloud services. Customers of these services need to test before rolling out anything new and not rely on the vendors for testing

I am both amazed and not-surprised at all that this happened.

At this scale, they should have had a pretty advanced multi-tier, multi-tier rollout system.

But instead it seems they committed the YOLO-est of all YOLO deployments.

@DJMRP @ainmosni Don't think that is possible with any EDR product. One of the selling points is near-realtime protection against emerging threats and there are dozens of updates every day.

Not saying this is great, just pointing out that "test every update" is not feasible for 99.9% of orgs.
