The question is, why do lifts require Crowdstrike?

Some idiot with college degree in office no-where near the place sees that we have these PCs here. And then they go over compliance list and mandate this is needed. Now go install it and the network there...

Or they want to protect their Windows-operated lifts from very real and life threatening events like an attacker jumping from host to host until they are able to lock the lifts and put people lives at risk or cause major inconveniences.

Not all security is done by stupid people. Crowdstrike messed up in many ways. It doesn't make the company that trusted them stupid for what they were trying to achieve.

The question is, why do lifts require internet connection on top of the rest.

In my office, when we swipe our entry cards at the security gates, a screen at the gate tells us which lift to take based on the floor we work on, and sets the lift to go to that floor. It's all connected.

Remote monitoring and maintenance. Predictive maintenance, monitor certain parameters of operation and get maintenance done before lift stops operating.

I mean... the beginning of mission impossible 1 should tell you.
