It’s really not fair to blame CrowdStrike for the outages today. The blame lies with the people in a position to make procurement decisions, who saw a product that added a load of additional code that runs in Ring 0 and though ‘yes, this will make us more secure, I will mandate this must be deployed across the entire company’. A large part of the blame lies with the people who created auditing frameworks that would lead people to believe that this was necessary for compliance.
