CrowdStrike is an endpoint detection and response (EDR) system. It is deeply integrated into the operating system. This type of security software is very common on company-owned computers, and often have essentially root privileges.
Well, actually more than root. Even for an administrator user on Windows, it’s pretty hard to mess with things and get into BSOD. CrowdStrike has these files as drivers (as indicated by .sys file extension) which run in the kernel mode.
