We replayed the CrowdStrike file that crashed millions of machines against a fleet of 8,500. Not one rebooted.
July 19, 2024 wasn't a hack, and it wasn't a bad AI model. It was one faulty update file, waved through because no independent layer was checking the vendor.
So we built that layer. Kestrel reads a vendor's update before it reaches your machines. Feed it that exact failure and it catches the flaw and blocks the rollout before any endpoint reboots. In the demo, estimated prevented downtime on that one file: $5M.
The same vendor's safe update? Straight through to a small first wave in seconds. It's a gate, not a block-everything nanny. 🦅
Every enterprise runs a dozen vendor agents that can push code straight into your machines. Which of yours do you actually trust to check its own update before it ships?
