Existing and being necessary are two different things. Linux and MacOS are operating systems. Windows is an ad delivery system that masquerades as an operating system.
If windows were absolutely perfect with no flaws whatsoever, CrowdStrike wouldn’t be a necessity. I agree with that.
Unfortunately we live in the real world and no OS is perfect so software like CrowdStrike exists on lots of operating systems.
Btw, Crowdstrike isn’t necessary but it’s very nice to have for companies. You don’t need real time protection like that on a normal client you use at home.
Didn’t 5h3y just release an update that bricked dual boot installs. Something tells me someone else should be organising this. Someone that actually cares.
That seems a bit of a non-story given that its prefaced on “once the attacker has access to your work email”. Yes once they have that they can do very good spear phishing attacks using copilot, but they could easily do them without copilot too.
A third party vendor whose entire business model is predicated on the fact that security is such an afterthought at Microsoft that enterprise customers need to resort to this kind of crap for a bare minimum of security.
Never said it didn’t. Doesn’t change the fact that Microsoft is notoriously worse by every metric and because of its position in the market is far more potentially damaging. Almost like if you sell an OS as something that can be trusted to run mission critical applications, you probably shouldn’t phone it in when it comes to securing that OS.
The funny part is people still believe the UN represents peace and freedom, instead of the financial interests of the wealthiest countries and oligarchs.
