About CrowdStrike
CROWDSTRIKE’S MISSION IS SIMPLE: TO STOP BREACHES
CrowdStrike was founded in 2011 to fix a fundamental problem: The sophisticated attacks that were forcing the world’s leading businesses into the headlines could not be solved with existing malware-based defenses. Co-founders George Kurtz and Dmitri Alperovitch realized that a brand new approach was needed — one that combines the most advanced endpoint protection with expert intelligence to pinpoint the adversaries perpetrating the attacks, not just the malware.
SOPHISTICATED PROBLEMS NEED SOPHISTICATED SOLUTIONS
This new platform, which we named Falcon, gives our customers the unique ability to detect and prevent never-before-seen attacks while they are still in progress — protecting them against threats their conventional defenses couldn’t even see. It even gave rise to an entirely new science for detecting adversary activity before it’s too late. Instead of just relying on so-called indicators of compromise (IOCs) to determine whether a breach has already occurred, we are able to identify active indicators of attack (IOAs) to detect and curtail adversary activity before a breach.
For us, it’s all about securing your brand, your data, and your people. At the end of the day, hacking and the attacks we see in the media have a real impact on people’s lives. Here at CrowdStrike, we are extremely proud to provide this level of protection to our rapidly expanding base of customers. It’s a responsibility that we take very seriously, and it drives us to constantly push the envelope, hunting for new threats and adversaries, and devising better ways to stop them.
