CrowdStrike CEO Kurtz to testify on mass outage and halted flights and hospitals

Since Kurtz was the CTO of McAfee when they did the same back in 2010, we now have two points in time. Those two points define what I propose we call the Kurtz Line.

This seems like a first for the House Homeland Security Committee. For a security vendor, not a general IT company. Should be eye-opening if he actually comments on risk, QA etc.

We should prepare our bingo cards.
