I have already seen speculation that IT security will decrease because
patch deployment speed will slow down.

 Consider that non-CrowdStrike customers, and even non-Windows-using
CrowdStrike customers, were not affected.
 Therefore, would not a more logical conclusion be: “don’t put all your
eggs in one basket”? Spread your Windows systems around different security
providers, and perhaps make more use of non-Windows systems?

But do be aware that a few months ago Crowdstrike bricked a bunch of Linux and Mac boxes.
The problem, methinks, is not in the OS...
