      So true, this really highlights the risk of updates impacting critical systems vs critical systems being exposed to critical vulnerabilities. Its a real balancing act.

      I don’t know exactly how crowd strike works, but this sounded like a “virus signatures” update (IE not a software update per se). And thats what caused the issue.

      I think “real time virus protection” is why people use it so they expect the signatures to get updated asap/with little to no human intervention.

      This is a crowd strike epic fail…for how they let their software blue screen systems with a virus signature update.
