My former employer uses CrowdStrike. It’s a wonderful product and does a lot of 
really geat things from a security standpoint. That said, it’s also heavily 
embedded in the endpoints, so if something goes south, well, I guess today is a 
good example.

As I understand it, there was an update or patch that borked everything. It’s 
got to be fixed from the command line, meaning that you can't just push out a 
fix and hope it works.

Back in the day when I did desktop support we referred to this process as 
“sneakernet.” In otherwords, having to walk around and “touch” every last 
machine.

I’ve had a few exchanges with the Crowdstrike admin at my former place, and 
needless to say, he’s cancelled all of his weekend plans.

Wow, I do not miss this. At all.
