CrowdStrike is an American cybersecurity company founded in 2011 by George Kurtz, Dmitri Alperovitch, and Gregg Marston. Headquartered in Austin, Texas. Its flagship offering is the CrowdStrike Falcon platform — a cloud-native, AI-powered security solution built to protect endpoints, cloud workloads, identities, and data.
The Falcon platform is designed with a “single-agent” architecture. This lets organizations deploy quickly, scale efficiently, and consolidate multiple cybersecurity functions under one roof — reducing complexity and improving response times
For IT and security teams facing resource constraints (staff, skills, budgets), CrowdStrike’s managed services and threat intelligence can reduce the burden and improve detection/response without requiring in-house, 24/7 SOC teams.

What’s In It for You
Endpoint and Cloud Security
Protects devices and workloads from malware, intrusions, and other threats. Legacy tools aren’t built for cross-domain attacks and modern ransomware
- 81% of hands-on-keyboard attacks now malware-free
- 35% increase in interactive intrusion campaigns
- 48 minute average breakout time
- 50% increase in access broker activity
Threat intelligence & adversary tracking
monitors global cyberthreat activity, including nation-state attackers, eCrime groups, and hacktivists. CrowdStrike Threat Intelligence is a set of services, data, and analytic capabilities within the CrowdStrike Falcon platform that helps organizations understand who is attacking them, how they operate, and what to do about it. CrowdStrike is known for having one of the most advanced threat-intel teams in the world.
- Indicators of compromise (IOCs)
- Malware signatures and behaviors
- IPs/domains used by attackers
- Tactics, techniques, procedures (TTPs)
- Attack chains mapped to MITRE ATT&CK
Managed Detection and Response
For organizations that prefer outsourcing threat detection/response rather than in-house operations. CrowdStrike Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is a 24/7 security operations service provided by CrowdStrike experts who monitor, detect, investigate, and actively respond to cyber threats on behalf of an organization.
CrowdStrike’s MDR offering is called Falcon Complete (and industry analysts often refer to it simply as CrowdStrike MDR). It’s known as one of the strongest MDR solutions on the market.
1. Adversary Tracking
CrowdStrike is famous for identifying and naming threat actors (e.g., Fancy Bear, Cozy Bear, Wizard Spider, etc.).
They track:
- Nation-state adversaries
- eCrime groups (ransomware gangs, financial criminals)
- Hacktivists
- Targeted intrusion groups
Each is monitored for tools, motives, targets, and evolution.
2. Threat Data & Indicators
They deliver real-time and historical data, such as:
- Indicators of compromise (IOCs)
- Malware signatures and behaviors
- IPs/domains used by attackers
- Tactics, techniques, procedures (TTPs)
- Attack chains mapped to MITRE ATT&CK
This helps organizations understand and block threats quickly.
3. Intelligence Reporting
CrowdStrike publishes:
- Strategic reports (global threat landscape, geopolitical insights)
- Operational intelligence (alerts about active campaigns)
- Tactical intelligence (specific IOCs, malware analysis, threat actor profiles)
- Industry-focused reports (e.g., threats to healthcare, finance, or public sector)
4. Real-Time Threat Graph
CrowdStrike’s cloud platform analyzes trillions of security events per day and correlates them globally.
This enables:
- Rapid detection of new threats
- Early warning about emerging attack campaigns
- Identification of suspicious behaviors even before malware is known
5. Managed Threat Intelligence Services
Some organizations use CrowdStrike experts directly to:
- Help investigate attacks
- Analyze adversary behavior
- Hunt proactively for threats
- Provide attribution (who likely attacked and why)
