CrowdStrike CEO: ‘We’re Seeing A Crisis Of Trust Within The Microsoft Customer Base’
‘We’re seeing a crisis of trust within the Microsoft customer base. Customers are looking to de-risk their security architecture by choosing an alternative vendor to Microsoft,’ says CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz. By Michael Novinson March 16, 2021, 07:26 PM EDT
CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz once again slammed Microsoft Tuesday, saying that CIOs, CISOs and boards of directors are concerned about the software giant’s security posture.
Kurtz said that just about every incident response engagement Sunnyvale, Calif.-based CrowdStrike does involves Microsoft’s technology, pointing to Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft’s central role in both the SolarWinds hack as well as the Exchange server zero-day vulnerabilities. These huge events have really highlighted the risk of relying on a single vendor for both security and operating systems, Kurtz said.
