It's my understanding that CrowdStrike customers buy that thing to check a box in some security audit, not because it provides any other benefit.

Let's blame bullshit compliance?

>not because it provides any other benefit.

It probably does provide benefits against some clueless intern in accounting downloading a macro-enabled excel file that has a malware enabled.

What’s that understanding based on?

All previous comments on HN about the incident... I've seen absolutely no one praising the thing as a security solution but a lot of people posting that it's bought to pass audits.

Actually there were a lot of pen testers that were speaking positively about CrowdStrike

As someone who used CrowdStike daily and worked as an MDR Analyst and Engineer at a top ranked MDR provider, CrowdStrike is a very capable piece of tech.

While the driver for purchase is almost always to pass audits, it's still a good product.
