📋About CrowdStrike

Updated September 16, 2026

CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) is the world's leading endpoint security company, founded in 2011 by George Kurtz. CrowdStrike holds 22.6% endpoint protection market share — number one globally (IDC). It protects 29,000+ customers including approximately 60% of the Fortune 500.

CrowdStrike's Falcon platform uses AI trained on trillions of security events. Charlotte AI, launched as an agentic security analyst, expanded at RSAC 2026 with AgentWorks — an ecosystem for building custom security agents with partners including Anthropic, NVIDIA, and OpenAI. New capabilities include AI Runtime Protection and Shadow AI Discovery for monitoring AI applications across endpoints.

CrowdStrike recovered strongly from the July 2024 global outage (8.5 million Windows devices affected, $5.4 billion in Fortune 500 losses). Customer count grew from 24,000 to 29,000+ in the year following the incident, demonstrating remarkable customer loyalty. The company overhauled its update testing and rollout processes in response.
