CrowdStrike

CrowdStrike is a cybersecurity company focused on cloud-delivered protection, threat intelligence and security operations. Its platform collects and analyses activity from endpoints, identities, cloud workloads and other sources to help organisations prevent, detect and investigate attacks. Customers include businesses and public-sector organisations that use CrowdStrike software and services to secure distributed workforces and technology environments.

The CrowdStrike Falcon platform is built around a lightweight endpoint sensor and cloud-based analytics. Its modules cover endpoint protection, extended detection and response, identity security, cloud security, exposure management, log management, threat intelligence and managed detection. Falcon Complete provides managed security services for customers that want CrowdStrike teams to monitor and respond to threats. The company also offers incident response, forensic and advisory services. A shared data and platform architecture is intended to let customers add capabilities without deploying separate endpoint agents for every function.

CrowdStrike was founded in 2011 by George Kurtz, Dmitri Alperovitch and Gregg Marston. It was established around the view that security should be delivered from the cloud and informed by detailed knowledge of adversaries. The company investigated a number of prominent cyber incidents and built a public profile through its threat research. CrowdStrike listed on Nasdaq in 2019 and has continued to broaden the Falcon platform through development and acquisitions.

CrowdStrike’s principal executive office is at 206 East 9th Street, Suite 1400, Austin, Texas 78701, United States. Its published general telephone number is +1 888 512 8906. Sales, support and incident-response contacts are available through separate online and emergency channels.
