CrowdStrike Blames Crash on Buggy Security Content Update

It is amazing that a security company would even make this type of comment.
They are a Wallstreet “darling” CrowdStrike Response & Mitigation Continues, this will go on for a longer period of time then affected companies will disclose publicly.

CrowdStrike remains in the hot seat — quite literally, as the company’s CEO George Kurtz has been called on to testify before Congress about the incident — and has considerable work to do to salvage its reputation in the wake of the incident

Personally I believe the next shoe to fall will be Sentinel One also wall street traded

A buggy “security content configuration update” to CrowdStrike’s Falcon sensor, which is aimed at gathering telemetry on novel threat techniques for Windows, has been confirmed as the root cause of the problem that crashed computers around the world on July 19, and is still having an impact on global IT teams, the vendor says.

Personal opinion
Uninstall and cancel your agreement with Crowdstrike strike 2 with the current CEO
If a Class action lawsuit is actually filed join in at least try to recoup some of your losses.
In todays world of Antivirus/Malware there is only one product that allows full control of your environment
