I know I have the benefit of hindsight in this regard, but how isn't there redundant checks and tests that would prevent a mishap of this magnitude?
I mean, there should be extensive automated testing using many different platforms and hardware combinations as a prerequisite for any rollout.
I guess this is what we get when everything is opaque, not only the product and the code, but also the processes involved in maintaining and evolving the solution. They would think twice about not investing heavily in testing their deployment pipelines if everyone could inspect their processes.
It might also be the case that they indeed have a thorough production and testing process deployed to support the maintenance of crowdstrike solutions, but we are only left to wonder and to trust whatever their PR will eventually throw at us, since they are a closed company.
