CrowdStrike is a cybersecurity firm that focuses on endpoint protection, threat intelligence, and cyber attack response services. It was founded in 2011 by George Kurtz, Dmitri Alperovitch, and Gregg Marston. The company’s core product, the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, uses advanced threat intelligence and real-time threat detection to protect networks from cyber threats. The platform’s cloud-native architecture allows it to deliver security across on-premise, virtual, and cloud environments.
CrowdStrike’s solution focuses on detection and response to cyberattacks. While it also helps to prevent cyber threats, it mainly enables organizations to respond effectively when an attack occurs. The company’s approach is based on the belief that cyber threats are inevitable, and that organizations must be prepared to respond to these threats in real-time.
In this blog post, we’ll explore all four of CrowdStrike’s pricing packages. We’ll detail what they offer, what they don’t, and the pros and cons of each one. After reading this article, you’ll be able to choose the right package for your needs (or choose a different vendor).
This is part of a series of articles about endpoint security.
CrowdStike offers four package bundles: Go, Pro, Enterprise, and Complete MDR. Prices for the first three packages range from $59.99-$184.99 per device per year. Complete MDR is a custom quote. Prices rise between packages as more capabilities are offered within each.
CrowdStrike’s endpoint security and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solutions protect endpoints, including laptops, desktops, servers, mobile devices, and even Internet of Things (IoT) devices. This approach ensures that potential entry points for cyber threats are protected.
The endpoint security solution uses AI and machine learning algorithms to identify and block known and unknown threats in real time. It also provides detailed threat visibility, enabling organizations to understand the nature of the threats they face and take appropriate action.
XDR, on the other hand, is a security solution that automatically collects and correlates data from multiple security layers—such as endpoint, network, and cloud—to detect, investigate, and respond to threats. By integrating and analyzing data from all these sources, XDR can provide a more complete picture of the threat landscape, enabling faster and more effective responses to cyber threats.
