What's the worst that could happen as a result of accelerated cloud based security deployment.

CloudStrike?

(Crowdstrike?)

imho this is was caused by horrible change/patch management from the clients/businesses. Any company that has the mentality to test it's critical updates (Adobe Acrobat v2025-July - not critical, AV, sec-patches, and other stuff that run as "System" - super critical).

And/or/but/so yes, if you blindly push updates that could cripple your machines, you are doing a coin-toss, and sometimes it lands on the wrong side.

Crowdstrike has a nuts sales culture that has been backing up the truck to every major corporation, .gov and institutions.

It’s pretty hard to maintain engineering and operational excellence with that kind of growth.

Isn't that the whole game? Why is this surprising?

Extremely normal for VC backed companies.

That's how the grift works.

This is what VCs are for.
