CrowdStrike is a cybersecurity firm that focuses on endpoint protection, threat intelligence, and cyber attack response services. It was founded in 2011 by George Kurtz, Dmitri Alperovitch, and Gregg Marston. The company’s core product, the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, uses advanced threat intelligence and real-time threat detection to protect networks from cyber threats. The platform’s cloud-native architecture allows it to deliver security across on-premise, virtual, and cloud environments.
CrowdStrike’s solution focuses on detection and response to cyberattacks. While it also helps to prevent cyber threats, it mainly enables organizations to respond effectively when an attack occurs. The company’s approach is based on the belief that cyber threats are inevitable, and that organizations must be prepared to respond to these threats in real-time.

CrowdStrike’s endpoint security and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solutions protect endpoints, including laptops, desktops, servers, mobile devices, and even Internet of Things (IoT) devices. This approach ensures that potential entry points for cyber threats are protected.
The endpoint security solution uses AI and machine learning algorithms to identify and block known and unknown threats in real time. It also provides detailed threat visibility, enabling organizations to understand the nature of the threats they face and take appropriate action.
XDR, on the other hand, is a security solution that automatically collects and correlates data from multiple security layers—such as endpoint, network, and cloud—to detect, investigate, and respond to threats. By integrating and analyzing data from all these sources, XDR can provide a more complete picture of the threat landscape, enabling faster and more effective responses to cyber threats.

CrowdStrike’s threat intelligence and hunting services are designed to proactively identify and neutralize cyber threats before they can cause damage. These services utilize a combination of AI and human expertise to continuously monitor and analyze the cyber threat landscape.
Threat intelligence is the process of collecting and analyzing information about potential or current threats to an organization’s digital environment. This information is used to understand the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by cybercriminals, enabling organizations to predict and prevent cyber attacks.
Threat hunting is a proactive approach to cybersecurity. Instead of waiting for an alert or a breach to occur, threat hunters proactively search for signs of malicious activity within an organization’s digital environment. This allows them to identify and neutralize threats before they can cause significant damage.
Identity protection is another key component of CrowdStrike security. CrowdStrike’s identity protection solutions are designed to protect against identity theft, account takeovers, and other forms of identity-related fraud.
CrowdStrike’s identity protection solutions leverage AI and machine learning technologies to monitor user behavior in real time. This enables CrowdStrike to detect and respond to suspicious activity, preventing unauthorized access and safeguarding user identities.
Furthermore, CrowdStrike’s identity protection solutions are designed to integrate with existing IT infrastructure. This ensures that businesses can implement identity protection without disrupting their operations, enhancing security while minimizing disruption.
CrowdStrike also provides the following solutions focused on supporting security aspects of IT operations:
CrowdStrike’s IT hygiene and asset discovery solution helps businesses maintain a clean and secure IT environment. This includes identifying and removing outdated software, managing user privileges, securing configurations and more.
