Compliance based stuff... "do you trust this machine to access your network/services/applications and execute these commands?"

(the VMWare owned product isn't CrowdStrike, that just had the best SEO page with a clear description. VMWare have Carbon Black which is the other dominant player in this market https://www.vmware.com/uk/products/whats-new/carbon-black.ht... )

That's really interesting. So a company would hire Crowdstrike/VMWare, and say "here's all these endpoints, make sure they are secure"? And then CS/VM would provide the service to manage the assets and their connectivity? Ka-ching. I would not want to spin up an IT team to do all of this if I could hire some experts with concentrated knowledge.

Hit the nail on the head. It's a bit more than that realistically.

I work for CrowdStrike just so any potential bias is out there in the open, but do not speak for them.

Hope you started working there years ago and got that sweet stock gains
