Before reaching the "pushed out to every client without authorization" stage, a kernel driver/module should have been tested. Tested by Microsoft, not by "a third party security vendor shitting in the kernel" that some criminally negligent manager decided to trust.
Congratulations on actually fixing the root cause, as opposed to hand wringing and hoping they don't break you again. I'm expecting "oh noes, better keep it on anyway to be safe" to be the popular choice.
yeah, I agree. I think most places will at least keep it until the existing contract comes time for renegotiation and most will probably keep using cs.
It's far easier for IT departments to just keep using it than it is to switch and managers will complain about "the cost of migrating" and "the time to evaluate and test a new solution" or "other products don't have feature X that we need" (even when they don't need that feature, but THINK they do).
