the good news is that it does make windows more secure. you cant hack something that has crashed.
Remember guys, it took about a decade for Solar Winds to discover somebody had root access to everybody that used their software, another decade for somebody outside Solar Winds to discover it and tell everybody, and half a decade with nobody claiming to have solved the issue up to now.
So when you believe that your computer with an EDS is safe just because you can't use it, think again.
EDS?
It's an oops.
It should be IDS.
That's intrusion detection system, right?
Yep.
But there also exists Endpoint Detection and Prevention System, Intrusion Prevention System, Enterprise Security system, Network Threat Detection, Network Threat Prevention... And all those things name the exact same products (or at least, products you buy bundled on the same package).
Somehow I managed to use the one acronym that is wrong.
WAF is my favorite. It sounds so goofy.
The most secure computer is the one not running any software. That's why I recommend Crowdstrike.
Reminds me of a local cyber security firm, which declares war on a group of hackers. The CEO went on television to "double dog dare" the hackers to hack their servers and claim their firewalls are impenetrable.
Well you can guess the results, within 48 hours, their servers went down one after another. And when shit about to hit the fan, they literally turned off all of their servers for days. They hired a 3rd party IT firm to patch their security, then the CEO declared victory in a local newspaper.
Similar thing happened to the idiot CEO of Lifelock that used to advertise his actual social security number everywhere.
I used to work at Equifax. LifeLock was the subject of many corporate trainings.
A smarter person would have used a fake SSN then claimed success when it never worked
And the hackers name? 4chan
