Community Power: The CrowdStrike Security Cloud Network Effect
David Puzas, CISSP
Head of Product Marketing, Assurance, Cloud, AI, & Platform at Cisco
There’s a popular saying that it takes a village to raise a child. The cybersecurity version of this idiom is that it requires a community to protect the cloud. At CrowdStrike, this means using the CrowdStrike Security Cloud to gather data from approximately 6 trillion events per week and using it to secure millions of endpoints, cloud workloads and containers around the globe. Our customers benefit from this network effect, powered by our global customer base and market-leading threat intelligence — we call it “the power of we.”?
The CrowdStrike Security Cloud processes each of those ~6 trillion events to identify potential indicators of attacks (IOAs) and malicious activity. In addition, we store more than 15 petabytes of data in the cloud and protect over 1 billion containers every day. Using this combination of unique capabilities and data, the CrowdStrike Security Cloud makes more than 150 million IOA decisions every minute and stops more than 75,000 breaches every year.
