Can someone in non marketing terms explain what the fuck CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor is? I literally never heard of this company or product before.

It's basically corporate anti-virus software. Intended to detect and prevent malware.

Is it less expensive than ransomware though?

By a wide margin

Ransomware you have to pay $10,000 every few years. Crowdstrike you have to pay $1,000 per month. Same number of outages for both. /s

Add some extra zeroes to that ransomware figure...
