How can an anti virus software protect from new threats if it can't auto update as soon as new threat is there?

It's a trade off. That said, we're in an age where companies do 100+ pushes per day. Automate a build, run a test, then deploy rolling updates across the fleet.

The options aren't "everyone auto updates or no updates for weeks", there's a balance point. It's very clear what choice most critical companies this week did though.

Crazy idea, for critical systems dont give them blanket internet access, USB, email attachments...
Most places I've seen already do this in addition to running CrowdStrike.
Doesn't match to my experience - its either open slather or properly restricted VDI/Citrix envs.
