CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.

Founded in 2011, CrowdStrike reinvented cybersecurity for the cloud and artificial intelligence ( AI ) era and transformed the way cybersecurity is delivered and experienced by customers. When we started CrowdStrike, cyberattackers had an asymmetric advantage over legacy cybersecurity products that could not keep pace with rapid changes in adversary tactics, a dynamic that has intensified as adversaries increasingly leverage automation, identity abuse, and AI to operate at machine speed. We took a fundamentally different approach to solve this problem with the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon cybersecurity platform, which serves as the operating system for cybersecurity. CrowdStrike built the first, true, cloud-native platform with AI at the core, capable of harnessing vast amounts of security and enterprise data to drive real-time security decisions and response stopping breaches at scale through a single lightweight sensor. The CrowdStrike Falcon platform is designed to be the definitive platform for cybersecurity consolidation, purpose-built to stop breaches. The platform’s single, lightweight sensor collects and integrates data from across the enterprise, including endpoints, cloud workloads, identities, and third-party sources. This data is ingested once and reused across multiple security functions, forming the foundation for detection, investigation, and response across the platform. We use this to train our AI to detect and prevent threats and drive workflow automation to give security teams machine speed advantage to stop adversaries.
