Yeah, I keep hearing people say “CrowdStrike is done for” or similar. But I honestly think this will be blown over and forgotten in a month or 2.

Almost every large tech company in existence has had some sort of fuck up and survived. (Intel CPU vulnerabilities, iCloud security scandal, Sony multiple data leaks, ..).



It will rename itself pay some damages and keep fing up


Yeah but they had one job… nobody in corporate IT is going to want to bet their careers on buying into crowdstrike from this point onward. Maybe not terminal for the company but it’s going to hurt it for a long time to come.

CISOs buy EDR. In order to kill CrowdStrike, you'd need competitors with similar capabilities who haven't caused similar but smaller and less publicized outages or performance hits (off the top of my head, Tanium and Carbon Black have. I was there.) And that haven't been publicly hacked due to equally boneheaded issues in other products recently (like Palo Alto). So Microsoft... maybe.
