I would honestly think freezing airports, hospitals and other services for days would cause a lot of legal trouble.

At least that’s what would happen if an experienced hacker did the same thing.

    Sadly I’d say Cylance has a feature-complete alternative to Crowdstrike but Blackberry has done everything possible to not promote the product.

      Cylance was comparable several years ago. But, as you say, Blackberry bought it. Development effectively stopped at that moment. Reported bugs were going un-triaged and the software stopped moving forwards and AV software that isn’t constantly adapting becomes a security risk in itself.

      We were Cylance customers, and we changed to Crowdstrike when our contract expired. It was the right choice at the time, as was our decision to choose Cylance before them. Turns out we have pretty crappy luck.

        Yeah cylance definitely had some issues but it seems like they’ve recently been doing better in bringing features.

        Another in this space is Palo Alto Networks XDR.
