Cybersecurity has come a long way since the early days of computing, yet the foundational philosophy behind many contemporary solutions has remained surprisingly static. This philosophy, rooted in a detection-based reactive approach, originated in the nascent era of computer viruses and has led to a significant paradox in modern cybersecurity strategies. The Birth of Detection-Based […]

In my previous blogs, I’ve consistently emphasized the risks associated with the traditional security model, which necessitates constant, unvalidated updates to the kernel. This approach, not only ineffective in preventing breaches from what it can’t detect, can lead to catastrophic outcomes, such as the incident involving CrowdStrike. The need for a more robust and secure […]

Albert Einstein famously defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. This notion seems strikingly relevant when looking at CrowdStrike and George Kurtz. Back in 2010 Under the leadership of George Kurtz, then CTO of McAfee, a faulty update was pushed in April 2010 that caused McAfee to […]

As a fellow cybersecurity leader, I want to extend my sympathies to George Kurtz, president and CEO of CrowdStrike. It’s clear that the challenges faced are not of his choosing, and he must be under significant pressure during this time. Managing a major cybersecurity company is no easy task, and I recognize the dedication […]

Lessons from the Car and Aviation Industries In industries like automotive and aviation, transparency is key to maintaining trust and ensuring safety. Historical performance data is readily available, allowing consumers to make informed decisions based on past performance. Cybersecurity, however, remains shrouded in secrecy, even as it plays a critical role in protecting sensitive data […]

In the 2010’s Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) was a groundbreaking innovation. Companies like CrowdStrike played a pivotal role in advancing cybersecurity, and their contributions were invaluable. However, as the cybersecurity landscape has evolved, the solutions offered by CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and similar companies have become insufficient. Today’s threats are more sophisticated, breaches are more severe, […]
