CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD) is a U.S.-headquartered cybersecurity company that operates a cloud-delivered, software-as-a-service (SaaS) subscription model under its unified Falcon platform. The platform provides protection across endpoints, cloud workloads, identity, and data, and encompasses a broad product suite including corporate endpoint and cloud workload security, managed security, vulnerability management, IT operations management, identity protection, threat intelligence, data protection, SaaS security posture management, AI-powered workflow automation, and security orchestration/automation and response (SOAR) capabilities. The company primarily generates revenue through subscriptions to Falcon and its associated cloud modules, a model common among large-scale enterprise software vendors that favors recurring revenue and customer retention.
The company is classified within the Application Software sub-industry of the Information Technology sector, reflecting its position in the broader enterprise software market rather than pure cybersecurity hardware. In addition to its core offerings, CrowdStrike provides services related to securing generative AI workloads, an area that has emerged as a new focus within the enterprise security market as organizations deploy AI models and agents. The company has formed a strategic alliance with Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation aimed at helping enterprises secure AI systems across the full AI lifecycle, spanning agents, models, and the underlying infrastructure.
Founded in 2011 and incorporated in Delaware, CrowdStrike completed its initial public offering on June 12, 2019. It is headquartered in Austin, Texas, and sells both domestically and internationally, serving enterprise customers that rely on subscription-based access to its integrated security platform.
