By not deploying Crowdstrike?
Disable automatic updates policy and turn it back on after updates have proven valid and working in other environments. Never rely on vendors automatically updating your machines.
Seems like it affected several versions of the sensor (see the link I posted). There was no software update involved. It was in the channel file updates. I also don't admin Crowdstrike myself, so I don't know if that could have been prevented.
I'm not familiar with it either, just from what I read earlier. I now admin all RedHat Linux systems, with Oracle middleware running ERP systems and all of the infrastructure with those.
