Why aren’t home PCs affected?
While CrowdStrike’s products are widely deployed in major organisations
that need to protect themselves from cyber attacks, they are much less
commonly used on home PCs.
This is because CrowdStrike’s products are tailored for large
organisations in which CrowdStrike’s tools help them monitor their
networks for signs of attack, and provide them with the information they
need to respond to intrusions in a timely way.
For home users, built-in antivirus sofware or security products offered
by companies such as Norton and McAfee are much more popular.
