Lots of debate in security on Platform vs. (fill in the blank). I think VentureBeat did an excellent job of capturing the ethos of CrowdStrike and why we have been so militant on our single-agent architecture and a common data fabric. When I co-founded CrowdStrike in 2011, I thought security was a data problem. In 2024, I think many others would agree. It’s one of the reasons why we can solve many more use cases than pure endpoint protection. Collect data once, reuse many, all without adding more agents. Our Next-Gen SIEM offering, natively built into Falcon, harnesses vast amounts of third-party data to fuel detections, reporting, and automated workflows. With the transformative capabilities of Charlotte AI, our customers can create generative workflows that drive automation and dramatically reduce the time spent on mundane tasks from hours to minutes. Single-agent, single console, and single platform. We believe customers should spend more time on innovating vs. integrating. This is part one of a two-part series. Enjoy! https://lnkd.in/gyrHcsXB

CrowdStrike’s collaboration with NVIDIA is a force multiplier for customers, accelerating the adoption of generative AI across the organization to gain the speed required to stop breaches and drive business value. When it comes to powering the future, AI is the engine and data is the oil. CrowdStrike creates the richest and highest fidelity security telemetry from the AI-native Falcon platform. The dynamic combination of our data advantage with Nvidia accelerated computing, NVIDIA Morpheus and NVIDIA NIM microservices is a game changer for the industry.

CrowdStrike’s record 4Q FY24 results: ending ARR of $3.44 billion, growing 34% year-over-year. Net new ARR growth accelerated to a record $282 million in Q4. We achieved the fourth consecutive quarter of both record GAAP and non-GAAP net income and delivered record operating and free cash flow. Thank you to our customers and partners who are excited to do more and consolidate on the Falcon platform. The market is standardizing on CrowdStrike. Our AI-native single platform, single console, single agent approach drives frictionless adoption and consolidation. With an ending ARR of more than $850 million, our Next-Gen SIEM, cloud security, and identity protection solutions collectively more than doubled year-over year. We deliver the business outcome of stopping breaches. The technology. The crowd. The mission. This is what makes CrowdStrike cybersecurity’s definitive platform. Thank you to all the amazing CrowdStrikers for their relentless passion and focus keeping our customers safe.

From the back room to the board room... Cybersecurity could not be a more important topic.

Had a great time chatting with Logan Bartlett on the building of CrowdStrike. We also took a walk down memory lane on starting Foundstone and how I got into the security space. Finally, I shared some of my personal philosophies that I hope can help others. Enjoy! #leadership #saas #security
