CrowdStrike

CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD) is a cloud-native cybersecurity company that delivers the Falcon platform, an AI-native security operating system designed to stop breaches at scale. Founded in 2011, the company has pioneered a fundamentally different approach to cybersecurity by building the first true cloud-native platform with artificial intelligence at its core, capable of harnessing vast amounts of security and enterprise data to drive real-time security decisions and response.

The Falcon platform serves as CrowdStrike's core offering, delivering 33 cloud modules spanning multiple large markets including corporate endpoint and cloud workload security, managed security services, security and vulnerability management, IT operations management, identity protection, next-generation SIEM and log management, threat intelligence services, data protection, SaaS security posture management, and security for generative AI systems. The platform utilizes a single lightweight sensor deployed across endpoints and cloud workloads, which collects and integrates data from endpoints, cloud workloads, identities, and third-party sources. This data feeds into the company's proprietary Enterprise Graph, which unifies Threat Graph, Intel Graph, and Asset Graph technologies to transform raw security signals into actionable intelligence.

CrowdStrike's business model is subscription-based, delivered through a software-as-a-service structure. The company sells primarily through direct sales teams and channel partners, including managed service providers and managed security service providers. The company operates data center facilities throughout the United States and Europe, supplemented by third-party data centers, providing a distributed and scalable global infrastructure.

The company's competitive advantages stem from its cloud-native architecture, which enables collection and analysis of crowdsourced data from its global customer base, creating a powerful network effect. The platform's AI-driven capabilities, powered by high-fidelity data and continuous training, deliver superior threat detection efficacy with low false positives. CrowdStrike also offers professional services including incident response, forensic investigation, breach recovery, technical assessment, and training to complement its platform offerings.

International operations represent a significant growth component, with the company expanding its footprint across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific regions. The company maintains a presence in the U.S. public sector, with its platform authorized through FedRAMP and Department of Defense provisional authorization, and has achieved standardization across 25 U.S. states at the enterprise level.
