Will Crowdstrike force Microsoft to lock down Windows Drivers?
Source: YouTube · Speedify · published Jul 24, 2025 · 18:42
This video discusses the recent CrowdStrike incident and its implications for security software, along with insights on operating system approaches to security and updates to Speedify's services 0:01.
Key Takeaways:
• The CrowdStrike incident was caused by pushing out invalid signatures instead of valid ones, highlighting the risks of kernel-level security software 0:33-0:37
• Microsoft is implementing three major fixes: a new API for security vendors to avoid kernel access, a QMR feature to prevent boot-loop crashes, and changing the blue screen of death to black 4:01-4:44
• The industry appears to be skipping IPv6 adoption, with many major services still not supporting it, leading to a shift toward name-based systems rather than IP-based ones 7:47-8:24
• Speedify is developing new features including Jitter Buffer for consistent latency during streaming and single connection speed testing for their MIRI routers 14:27-15:27
The conversation concludes with a demonstration of Speedify actively managing multiple connections to maintain stream quality despite packet loss issues 17:37-18:07.

procedures on Yeah. rolling out updates. They
they announced they've improved their quality assurance. They've improved their uh process
for rolling out software and they are trying to minimize their use of the Windows kernel. That
last was very fuzzy. Yeah. So I I think when something hits the mainstream as much as that did,
I think anybody that's sort of playing in that space is going to be more cautious about it. So I
think we're going to be in a bit of a bubble where people are just more careful until enough time
passes that everybody forgets. But yeah, I think uh the root of it was pushing out a bad update
essentially. That's what really caused it. So they kind of pushed out zero instead of an actual
like valid set of signatures and that was bad. So I mean obviously you know t…
