It is kind of obvious, isn't it? But I've yet to see any hard questions asked in main stream media about the process of simultaneous global rollout of "content updates".

But in a recent update of https://www.crowdstrike.com/falcon-content-update-remediatio... they have a long explanation of of things are supposed to work, with a lot of nice words (sounds almost AI-written...) and quite a few implications that it's really the customers fault who have not configured their systems to for example stay one version behind the latest and still a very short explanation of what went wrong.

But... Lo and behold, what are CrowdStrike going to do to avoid this happening in the future?

"Implement a staggered deployment strategy for Rapid Response Content in which updates are gradually deployed to larger portions of the sensor base, starting with a canary deployment." About time...

My main point, and the reason for the title, is that this has not been the major takeaway in main stream media analyses. Of course not "everyone" has missed this, but pretty much all media articles about the incident do appear to miss this.
