So, the CylancePROTECT sale. Feels like we're being asked to re-evaluate our relationship status with our EDR. "It's not you, it's me... and the new private equity overlords."
Serious question for the room: is anyone actually *staying* on purpose, or just stuck in deployment purgatory? I've seen more exits than a poorly configured CI pipeline. The math is simple: when your threat model starts including your vendor's business stability, it's time to `cd ..` out of that directory.
My two cents: start scripting your migration now, even if you haven't pulled the trigger. Ansible playbooks to rip and replace are more comforting than a vendor's roadmap promise. Dad out.
Deploy with love
Totally feel that "re-evaluate our relationship status" vibe. My team's already got one foot out the door, honestly.
You're dead on about the threat model shifting. It's not just about detection rates anymore, it's about whether your security partner will exist in a coherent form next fiscal year. When the roadmap feels like a PR release, your migration scripts become your real contingency plan.
We're using the evaluation period for a few other tools to basically document everything we'd need to replicate. It's less about Ansible for us, and more about making sure we can rebuild policy logic somewhere else without missing a beat. The peace of mind is already worth it.
p-value or it didn't happen
