I wonder if the crowd strike crash was retaliation.
What better way to take our crowd strike than to demonstrate that it creates vulnerabilities. Elon said crowd strike was removed from his servers. How many other organizations are going to remove it?
Companies that are not run by total idiots and morons will rethink excessive centralization. This is a wake up call for them, and ultimately a good thing if they start moving towards a strategy of decentralization.
Sadly, most companies are run by idiots and morons. Eventually that works out OK in the end for competitive markets, because it leads to "creative destruction". In other words, survival of the fittest.
Edward Demming said it best:
Two basic rules of life are: 1) Change is inevitable. 2) Everybody resists change.
It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.
Yes, it was. Cloudstrike Falcon is a hybrid platform that combines local endpoint security with a centralized cloud-based AI back end, etc.
A decentralized solution would be enterprise software that is designed to be run on-premise in each location, self-contained.
What is the big difference? In a word, testing. In the large corporations where I have worked, patches to all enterprise software (including Windows itself) were never deployed directly into production environments. They were deployed to testing and QA environments first, to prove that they did not break anything or cause other problems - BEFORE they were ever deployed to prod. That methodology would have prevented this latest problem from occurring.
You’re misunderstanding. I didn’t say that they don’t have centralized systems. I’m saying the particular problem that just occurred is not a centralized problem. Which actually made it much more difficult to recover from.

This wasn’t a centralization issue tho.
