A software update from CrowdStrike caused Microsoft Windows systems to crash, disrupting aviation, healthcare, government services, and many other key industries and organizations globally.

CrowdStrike has released a content update for Falcon customers to detect newly observed malicious named pipes being used by popular C2 frameworks in cyber attacks. However, this buggy update has caused computers globally to experience a "blue screen of death" situation.

How is Trellix different?

First of all, we believe that security solution providers must bear great responsibility. We all hold a special position, with access to the heart of our customers' systems, called the kernel. There are best practices in place to ensure that any code deployed there is certified by Microsoft and cannot be changed without the customer's knowledge and approval.

Second, at Trellix, we apply a prudent approach, founded on three imperative principles: Transparency, Choice and Accountability.
