So the CNC manufacturers pay for crowdstrike licenses? That's crazy


Yes because compliance requirements say “EDR must be installed on all machines”.


Out of curiosity, what set of requirements would that be for?


SOC2, PCI, FedRAMP, cyber insurance. Just about any cybersecurity related compliance will have "All machines must have EDR."


I’ve seen comments mention banking, or privacy references maybe when handling SSN and birthdates together (airports, hospitals?).


They probably have to due to CrowdStrike lobbying and fear-mongering requirements for their kind of software into export-controlled hardware.
