    Maybe this will convince mission-critical systems in government and business to properly air-gap their systems. CrowdStrike is the opposite of this where the security is because it’s all in the clouuuuuud…

    Or perhaps we need open source solutions since one company’s assurance that their security suite won’t break the whole thing is only worth so much. If this software were to cause Linux kernel panics for specifically something Linux does, it can be debugged and fixes can be proposed on the vendor’s blob or through a kernel patch. You wouldn’t have to rely on Microsoft, Ubuntu, Redhat, SUSE saying, “yeah yeah it’s all fixed now”, it can be independently verified if you had any doubts.

        You don’t, the most reliable network is dark. Separate it entirely from the wider world and lock every bit of everything it touches behind locked doors if you want security

    Uh… no. Only if you’re dumb enough to allow auto updates to critical infrastructure or outsource your IT infra to a third party that allows that to please their/ your bean counters.
