I'm a little baffled by how this could be news. It's an antivirus system. Someone bypassed it. That's what people do with antivirus systems. Was there a widespread belief that Cylance had somehow cracked the code on reliable antivirus?

Is this news to nerds? No. The effectiveness of virus software has been measured over and over and holes are always found, cause that’s software.

It’s a useful talking point nonetheless. Naive managers can feel pressured to make purchase decisions around these things.

Pointing to data and these stories has been helpful to me in getting time to truly vet our choices.

Nothing hurts credibility like saddling the company with a service contract that provides fuck all nothing.
