The recent global #IT outage caused by the CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor update highlights the critical need for comprehensive end-point agent management. Incident Overview: On July 19, 2024, a sensor configuration update from CrowdStrike triggered a logic error, causing csagent.sys to crash Windows systems into a BSOD (blue screen of death) loop. This incident affected systems running Falcon sensors for Windows version 7.11 and above that downloaded the update between 04:09 UTC and 05:27 UTC. The resulting outage disrupted a wide range of industries, including airlines, medical facilities, and financial services. JetPatch’s Role in Mitigation: Our Agent Management platform specializes in centralized management across endpoints and servers. It automatically identifies and rectifies misbehaving agents. If JetPatch had been in place during this incident, it could have sent a command to stop or disable the problematic csagent.sys file, preventing machines from being stuck in a BSOD loop and minimizing downtime. Why This Matters: This incident underscores the necessity for robust agent management to protect IT infrastructure. With the ability to automatically manage and remediate agent issues, JetPatch ensures seamless operation and compliance of all agents, mitigating potential risks before they escalate into critical issues. For more detailed analysis and insights on preventing such outages, read our recent blog by Todd Kirkland, CEO, of JetPatch: https://lnkd.in/e4Rnvspt #microsoft #cybersecurity #agentmanagement #outage #crowdstrike

About us
Each year, there is a significant increase in vulnerability discovery. Unfortunately, the average company takes 71 days to remediate, which is a huge problem when 60% of security breaches result from unpatched vulnerabilities. At the time of breach, most companies have some sort of patch management process. So what went wrong? Most processes are focused only on applying the required remediation and fail to address the complexity of the ecosystem, the multiple teams involved, and the ubiquity of existing tools and policies. This is why JetPatch was created. JetPatch is an ITOps company offering an innovative server managment platform that focuses on continuous compliance, configuration, and IT process automation. Using advanced automation capabilities, JetPatch enhances business resilience by governing and automating patch and configuration management, while achieving significant operational efficiencies and cost savings. In addition, our agent management solution saves ITOps countless hours of tedious work around deploying, maintaining and troubleshooting server agents.

Ransomware attackers are increasingly targeting ESXi hypervisors to facilitate mass encryption with just a few clicks. Many security products have limited visibility and protection for ESXi hypervisors, making them easy targets. Encrypting an ESXi hypervisor file system allows for one-click mass encryption, affecting hosted VMs and giving attackers more time for lateral movement and credential theft. This alarming trend underscores the need for effective patch management to ensure timely updates and patches, closing the vulnerabilities that ransomware exploits. JetPatch offers a comprehensive patch management solution that automates the entire process — from calculating applicable endpoints and retrieving dependencies to analyzing patches, scanning endpoint statuses, and predicting patching success rates.
