Oh cool. Cool cool cool.

Crowdstrike processes their signature files in kernel mode. Defender helpfully pastes malware over system files. Ivanti has a new critical vulnerability every week or so. Why are security vendors incompetent?

Because they know they have such a chokehold on the market. I remember back in the XP days it felt like every year there was a new top tier security product that people were trying.

Because all software is insecure.

You hear a lot about them because they are used in government and large enterprise environments when threat actors love to attack.
Having a responsible disclosure process where they announce problems so their customers know it's patching time. It's better then it use to be where a vendor threw out a patch and if you didn't patch because the vendor didn't say why the patch was released.
