They should reword it as "That’s the average time it takes a broken automatic upgrade to land and deploy through your network. When your data, reputation, and revenue are at stake, don't trust third-party software with automated updates."

I can't wait to see the reasoning employed by CrowdStrike management to try and justify their continued existence after a lack of testing caused them to trigger the very same global IT meltdown that they are supposed to prevent

It's probably not that bad when everybody goes down at the same time.

I work in a hospital system. The OR is only doing emergency cases today; ambulatory clinics are closed; everything is being done on paper; response communication is via email and peer-to-peer text.

The affected "healthcare" providers are slurping up people's money left and right, but cannot dispense the thing if the receipt printer is feeling unwell. How fucking ironic.

(Yes, the ubiquitous security theater - featuring such classics as "I was just filing out spreadsheets" by multiple Nortony award winner, best director of the decade Aud Itor, production by the Revolving Door of CISOs Comedy House - also can go and fuck themselves. But let's assign credit where it's due. If IT is critical, then treat it so. Instead what hundreds of millions of people have to suffer through are systems so incompetent and so reeking of agent-principal problems that just the knowledge of how this shit "works" gives me secondhand shame.)
