CrowdStrike - statistics & facts
The rise of sophisticated cyber threats in the era of cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) has brought with it the advent of multibillion-dollar cybersecurity companies. Founded in 2011 to "reinvent security for the cloud era", Texas-based CrowdStrike has quickly emerged as one of the global cybersecurity industry leaders, thanks to its ability to adapt to a fast-evolving technological and threat landscape. While CrowdStrike has a track record of uncovering major cyberattacks, the company's journey has not been without incident, including inadvertently causing a global computer outage that disrupted critical sectors in July 2024.
