The BSI - Germany's Federal Office for Information Security - is demanding that tech firms take swift steps to secure their products and prevent a repeat meltdown, especially after the financial disaster of the Microsoft/CrowdStrike debacle.
The BSI is summoning Big Tech companies to a conference later this year to push for kernel access to be restricted or abandoned, following concerns about security flaws.
Microsoft will likely need to cease allowing kernel access in Windows, similar to the approach Apple took years ago, recognizing that the risks of such access outweigh the benefits.
Apple recognized the high risks of providing kernel access, which led them to abandon this feature to protect users from potential security vulnerabilities.
