It's basically corporate anti-virus software. Intended to detect and prevent malware.
Apparently it's the next iteration of AI based antivirus where it uses smart algorithms to detect system behaviours and makes assessments on whether they're malicious or not

obviously, A.I consider microsoft as a malicious software. Sometimes, A.I is very accurate 😁
Is it less expensive than ransomware though?
Yes
By a wide margin
Ransomware you have to pay $10,000 every few years. Crowdstrike you have to pay $1,000 per month. Same number of outages for both. /s
Add some extra zeroes to that ransomware figure...
Can you tell whether this update was delivered by Crowdstrike's own update delivery pipeline of via Window's update pipeline?
Absolutely nothing to do with windows pipelines or Microsoft
Okay, thanks. There was a parallel Microsoft outage, so I thought they were somehow linked.
Crowdstrike updates don't come through Windows Update.
