I haven’t been able to work today. Both my Lenovo and dell laptops are locked out along with most of the rest of my company and were mostly remote. Only good thing is that it aligned with cfb25 being released today so even though I have a shite ton of work to do I’m able to just play that all day until IT reaches out to me
its a very easy fix if your company does not use bitlocker

It’s the best endpoint protection in the business by almost every metric and one of the best cybersecurity companies. They’ll take a haircut today but it will blow over.
Sounds exactly like something someone who is a Crowdstrike reseller would say .

well i did just finish indoctrination camp/sales training this week.
We've been a CS, Bitdefender, Sophos, Kaspersky, S1, and Cortex XDR reseller at some points.
I'd still recommend CS after today. My boss is losing his shite.
Like i said, Fortinet has security vulnerabilities on the reg. My boss sold hundreds of them to a large chain and they all bricked after support recommended downgrading software, but they are still a top 5 firewall company. They recovered.

Been using and deploying their firewalls since FGT-60 came out. Which is almost 20 years. I’m a big believer, but the “recent” spate of CVEs is annoying.
we were a Fortinet reseller when i joined 12 years ago, but due to the above post, my boss jumped ship right when i came on. i did 2 or 3 installs before we switched to PAN. i still get in it every now and then.
most of my migrations are people still on ASAs running ASDM. I just did my first Cisco FMC, that was a weird one for me.
most of our business is actually content filtering with schools.

All the while Gates and all his cronies ride off into the sunset with millions to billions of computer based profits ! How about putting some of those 'gains' into PROTECTING the consumer masses which were FORCED into accepting all this unmanageable horses^&% !

I just tried this and there are now a bunch of 3D dicks flying across my screen and a strange voice laughing at me saying they have my bank info.

My current place uses PAN.
When I first got into IT/OT (I was in IT for a long time prior), we were air gapped and ran double FWs at level 3.5/4 with ASA inside and Checkpoint outside.
Of all of those, ASAs were the most difficult to deal with.

We've had to do this on a few dozen computers here in the building today. We're now having to walk remote users through logging in as local admins (we can push pw recycles once they are back on the domain) and deleting the 291 file (one user had 2).
I leave for vacation at 3:30pm, it can't get here soon enough.

just finished up my servers and VMs. had to drive 2 hours for 5 minutes of work.
i did just have a phone call from one of the top channel engineers for Crowdstrike (does a ton of their trainings and presentations on conferences) call to check on me. that wasn't something i had on the bingo card for today.

I picked a good day to stay at home and play video games. Kept all my operations running through teams between game breaks.

If you do 29* it will delete them all with the 29 scope
