    I honestly don’t understand they’re still in business. First of all I’d think the claims by impacted customers would be fairly astronomical, and second, any IT director worth his or her salt will never, ever touch anything from this company again with a 10-foot pole.

      They do long term contracts. They’re not gonna see many renewals but before then they’re likely to continually see cash influx from monthly current subscribers. But I view them as a dead company walking, like LastPass

        Who else do you go to though? Ring 0 fed ramp security vendors are not exactly common.

        They’ll keep a lot of business just from lock in

          There’s gonna be at least a few companies who correctly assess that there aren’t many because it wasn’t a good idea giving third party access to corporations to Ring 0
