Is anyone here using Crowdstrike, what does it do? I see it referred to as an 'anti-virus'? I have it installed on my work laptops and I see it as a keylogger and activity monitor. "I got nothing to hide", but still bothers me when some corporate super users spy on me.

It gets you a sign-off from the security, compliance, and legal teams.

This right here

Instead of calling out AV/EDR solutions as malware and spyware, I have a better solution: Stop using your workstations for private stuff. They belong to the company, and they are a liability since you use them to access the company environment and could cause damage if actual malware would find its way onto it. Use a separate device for private stuff if you want privacy.

Yes, you should be using a separate computer for personal stuff, but you should still be calling out that spyware for what it is too.
