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?
Yes
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...
