Zitat: "CrowdStrike’s Falcon system, designed to prevent cyber attacks, has special access to a key part of a computer known as the ‘kernel’.
Microsoft, which offers an alternative to CrowdStrike known as Windows Defender, agreed in 2009 to allow several security providers to install software at the kernel level amid a European competition investigation.
In contrast, Apple blocked access to the kernel on its Mac computers in 2020, which it said would improve security and reliability.
A Microsoft spokesman told the Wall Street Journal that it was unable to make a similar change because of the EU agreement."
