Maybe try reading what happened during the Crowdstrike fiasco and then comment about it. Crowdstrike auto updates itself, the agent allows you to select update cadence, but this was an update to the "channel" files which auto update themselves a few times per day and you don't have any control over it.

Doesn’t matter. You had control over instituting it in your environment. The onus is on you.

No you didn't. External audits and compliance forced you to install an EDR, said EDR had no option to defer this kind of update. Crowdstrike sold itself to the suits as said EDR. What do you do, ignore both your management and the security checklist given by the government?

I've personally trialed Crowdstrike for my company (around 30 people) and found it a buggy mess, especially on non-Windows platforms - after the trial was over we decided to not use it. However this is not the case for most companies, feds, auditors or both will force you to use this BS and there's absolutely nothing you can do.
