I appreciated the RiskyBiz episode with the Sentinel one guys where they go over all the ways this could have been prevented if they did real testing

Crowdstrike absolutely deserves the shit they're getting.

    Oh god. Sentinel one is horrible. If they're taking issue with your testing, you've really screwed the pooch

    Horrible how? I've always thought they were pretty solid in the arena.

    Their ftrace hooks caused all disk usage to be serialized, making your multi-core processor single-core when doing anything I/O bound

    We saw between 500% - 800% increases in build times with their software installed

    Well, that's spectacular. What do you guys use now?

    We're still using them on machines where performance doesn't matter

    On build machines, they're on a special VLAN and don't have endpoint protection, but they only download from a protected mirror
