    Still don’t understand why large enterprises don’t test this update, even if it is daily. Because it hardly takes any time at all, and can prevent a lot of problems and damage. Not sure if this software allows for a delayed rollout of updates, if I understand correctly every agent on every single pc and server can be updated without intervention from the IT department. This is strange considering the fact this software is mainly used in enterprise environments where development, test and production environments are separated. In this case they should have just installed the update on one machine to find out it was broken. A job that would take a few minutes at most. Obviously that doesn’t include testing all applications running in the enterprise.

    This is a good reason to delay new updates for a week or two and make sure this won't happen to you, IF it's an option.

    Where I work they try to make me say that we are undergoing updates when I am having system issues, so the old update excuse doesn't really math well with me, they make and update and didn't test it, thereby making a release a virus update which nukes the system. Crowdstrike it's self is just a predatory sounding name, I call wm CrowdSTROKE. When it happened I thought it was my computer so I just started reinstalling windows by the time I was done I found out what had happened lol.

    Zero-day threats pose a conundrum because the response really needs to be tested thoroughly ( not only in a test environment), but in each organization, it should be deployed on ONE machine in production first to see how it works. A test environment can never replicate real-world production conditions. Not only that, the fix might need to be rolled out to ONE machine in production in different geographic locations (or similar) because of different conditions in those areas. This is how to prevent the BSOD fiasco that just happened. However, the clock is ticking with zero-day threats. So the IT community needs to come up with ideas and solutions on how to handle this going forward.
