Market-Leading Customer Base and Growth:
Including end customers and managed security service providers (MSSPs), CrowdStrike serves more than 74,000 organizations – including 62% of the Fortune 500, 8 of the top 10 healthcare and auto providers, and 42 U.S. states.

Platform Innovation:
CrowdStrike pioneered AI-native cybersecurity and revolutionized the Falcon platform for the agentic era. Falcon delivers the industry’s most comprehensive platform with 33 best-in-class modules built on one agent, one console, and one data layer. Over the past 12 months, the company introduced the Agentic Security Platform, unleashed the only Agentic Security Workforce trained on years of real-world expertise from the world’s top SOC operators, and made key acquisitions in Pangea, SGNL, and Seraphic to secure AI and identities everywhere.

Customer Impact:
CrowdStrike stops breaches while delivering quantifiable business value. Charlotte AI puts analysts in control of intelligent AI agents that automate time-consuming tasks with over 98% accuracy so humans can focus on the strategic decisions that strengthen security. A Forrester Total Economic Impact™ study quantified $1.7 million in avoided breach-related costs over three years by using CrowdStrike Endpoint Security. In the 2025 MITRE ATT&CK® Enterprise Evaluations, CrowdStrike delivered 100% detection, 100% protection, and zero false positives across the most advanced attacks ever tested.

Leading Cybersecurity in the Agentic Era:
Cybersecurity has entered an AI arms race, where adversaries are using AI to accelerate attacks and compress the defender’s window to respond – while attacking AI itself. CrowdStrike is reimagining security operations for the agentic era, elevating analysts from alert handlers to orchestrators of intelligent agents that reason, decide, and act at machine speed – always under defender’s control. As organizations race to adopt AI, CrowdStrike secures every layer of enterprise AI, ensuring innovation moves fast without creating new risk.
