This is amazing sales tactics! So, you buddy up with insurance, they create a checkbox and recommend you for a revenue cut! Now you suddenly have millions of customers out of nowhere and your product gets installed on billions computers before you even know it. I have seen this tactic get used for many mediocre products. For example, 3rd party dishwasher soap recommended by dishwasher company. Amazingly powerful. I don’t think most of CrowdStrike employees even knew they were in more than billion computers with paid service. The CEO was just busy doing brutal marketing of this pointless product.
