Plenty of companies have gone bankrupt or lost a great deal of credibility due to a single bug or single failure. I don't see why CrowdStrike would be any different in this regard.

The number of bugs/failures is not a meaningful metric, it's the significance of that failure that matters, and in the case of CrowdStrike that single failure was such a catastrophe that any claims they make should be scrutinized.

The fact that we can not scrutinize their claim in this instance since the details are not public makes this allegation very weak and worth being very skeptical over.

It is possible for a company to both suffer an operational incident and be outstanding at discovering security vulnerabilities at the same time.

It is possible. It's just not likely either.

Sure, but this isn't one of them.
