CrowdStrike

CrowdStrike is a global cybersecurity leader that provides cloud-native endpoint protection, threat intelligence, and next-generation security operations through its unified Falcon platform. Founded in 2011 by George Kurtz and Dmitri Alperovitch, CrowdStrike revolutionized the endpoint security market with its single-agent architecture that combines next-generation antivirus (NGAV), endpoint detection and response (EDR), managed threat hunting, and threat intelligence into a lightweight sensor powered by the company's proprietary graph database. Named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms for the seventh consecutive time, and a Leader in the inaugural Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies, CrowdStrike protects against modern attacks including malware, ransomware, fileless attacks, and identity-based threats. The Falcon platform's core modules include Falcon Prevent (NGAV), Falcon Insight (EDR with 5-second response time), Falcon OverWatch (24/7 managed threat hunting by elite teams), Falcon Intelligence (threat intelligence with the CrowdStrike OverWatch eCrime and APT tracking), Falcon Cloud Security (cloud workload protection and CSPM), Falcon Identity Protection (identity threat detection and MFA), Falcon Discover (IT hygiene and shadow IT detection), and Falcon Next-Gen SIEM (AI-native security information and event management). The platform processes over 10 trillion security events per week through the CrowdStrike Threat Graph, using AI and machine learning to correlate telemetry across endpoints, cloud workloads, identities, and data. CrowdStrike offers tiered pricing starting at 59.99 dollars per device annually for Falcon Go, with Falcon Complete providing fully managed MDR with a Breach Prevention Warranty.
