CrowdStrike was founded in 2011 by George Kurtz, Dmitri Alperovitch, and Gregg Marston. They recognized the limitations of traditional antivirus software in detecting and stopping sophisticated cyberattacks. Their vision was to create a new approach to endpoint security that leveraged cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and threat intelligence.
In 2013, CrowdStrike launched its flagship product, the Falcon platform. Falcon is a cloud-native endpoint protection platform that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect and prevent1 cyber threats. It provides a range of security capabilities, including endpoint detection and response (EDR), threat intelligence, and security automation.
CrowdStrike quickly gained recognition for its innovative approach to cybersecurity and its ability to stop breaches. The company’s customer base grew rapidly, and it became a publicly traded company in 2019.
Today, CrowdStrike is a leading provider of cybersecurity solutions, with a global customer base that includes many of the world’s largest organizations. The company continues to innovate and expand its product offerings, and it is widely regarded as one of the most effective cybersecurity companies in the world.
