@Pixy Stix - The OP obviously had encountered some info that many people are familiar with, and seemed to feel powerless about what endpoint would be used. What I liked were the system admins who had varied experiences with it, and/or with other vendors, etc. Their replies were level-headed for the most part. And I liked that thread is pretty current, after all the past hoopla that has appeared over the last few months/years.

I know of an organization with 50,000 endpoints with aggressively managed Cylance Protect. No compromise thus far, all audits are clean. Of course, Cylance Protect is combined with some pretty beefy Fortinet technologies and a properly managed IT infrastructure. But those should be a part of all business IT practices, and if they are, Cylance Protect itself, with nothing else is more than sufficient.

Cylance is just software. All software has warts.

True. I saw it as some system admins sharing their experience, pure & simple. End of story.
