In the wake of the widespread outages that have been caused by the recent CrowdStrike update, many Blueshift customers have been wondering “Do I need to worry about Blueshift’s agents causing a similar outage within my organization?”
The short answer is: No, you definitely do not!
The longer answer is: No, you do not because the Blueshift Agent is built on an architecture, powered by Wazuh, that avoids the risks inherent in CrowdStrike’s approach
CrowdStrike Approach
• Kernel-Level Operations: CrowdStrike operates deep within the system’s core (the kernel), offering extensive control but with higher risks of serious system crashes.
Blueshift / Wazuh Approach
• User Space Operations: Wazuh operates in a safer area called the user space, avoiding deep system interactions. This approach reduces the risk of major system failures.
Additionally, Wazuh’s open-source model fosters transparency, allowing for continuous improvement and customization, and easier debugging and improved security.
Finally, if you are looking for an alternative to CrowdStrike, Blueshift offers SOC-Managed Endpoint Protection to detect and block 99% of unknown threats, like zero-day exploits and ransomware, before they execute inside your environment.
