    I used to work in a rigid multinational with an IT department that mandated only approved applications and screened any updates as safe for integration with the standard office suite before release. Wtf happened and why is it now ok to let systems auto update by a third party?

      My guess is that cybersecurity zero-day’s are so common that teams are worried that they don’t have the bandwidth to handle them in time which is the reason for using something like crowdstrike to begin with (“why have our own security team, which costs more money, when we can just install this software, which costs less money”)
