No, because it's a denial of service.

C-I-A triad: Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability.

A dead system is confidential, and if that's your criterion, then fine, but legitimate users may require access to intact data and services.

Sure, and availability in this sense is often forgotten, but I was only joking about Cloudstrike's ability to block malware.

A dead machine is difficult to infect with malware. You'd have to go out of your way to do so.
