Crowdstrike was heavily pushed on us at a previous company both for compliance reason by some of our clients (BCG were the ones pushing us to use crowdstrike) and from our liability insurance company.

It was really an uphill battle to convince everyone not to use Crowdstrike. Eventually I managed to but after many meetings where I had to spend a significant amount of time convincing different shareholders. I'm sure a lot of people just fold and go with them.



Curious — did you go with a different EDR solution? Or were you able to convince people not to roll one out at all?


What made you unwilling to use CS at the time?
