CrowdStrike’s Approach Echoed in RSA 2020 Theme, “Human Element”

February 04, 2020

| | Executive Viewpoint
Another year has raced by, and RSA 2020 is only weeks away. CrowdStrike® is gearing up for our best event ever after closing a banner year that saw exciting additions to the CrowdStrike Falcon®® platform, continued expansion of our global footprint and an exciting and successful IPO. We are looking forward to a fantastic RSA, and we hope you will share in the important activities and events CrowdStrike has planned. In explaining this year’s theme, RSA writes, “With all the new technologies, strategies and artificial intelligence being employed by both security pros and threat actors, one thing remains constant: us. We are the Human Element within cybersecurity. That’s what joins us together.” The human element on all sides of today’s cybersecurity challenge is something CrowdStrike has focused on from the beginning. First and foremost is an unwavering commitment to our customers, but the human element impacts every aspect of what we do. From hiring the best and brightest talent across the globe to consistently evolving our technology to stay ahead of the adversary, the human element is a key part of the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform. Our global teams comprise true experts in the industry, including the Falcon OverWatchTM threat hunting team, the CrowdStrike Intelligence threat analysis team and the CrowdStrike Services incident response team. We believe this year’s RSA theme is especially relevant to our organization and its mission, and we invite you to meet with CrowdStrike experts at our booth and attend the compelling sessions conducted by our threat hunting, intelligence and services teams.

Exciting Developments at CrowdStrike

We hope you will visit us at RSA 2020 to learn more about CrowdStrike and the important developments over the past year. We have continued to expand the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform, adding new capabilities and gaining important new partnerships. In 2019, we introduced the CrowdStrike Store — where customers can try and buy apps that integrate with our platform to solve specific problems. At RSA, you’ll be introduced to some new applications as we continue to engage our partners and add apps at a steady pace. We also launched CrowdScore™ — an important new capability that dramatically reduces the time required to understand and respond to cyber threats by delivering the right information for each stakeholder when and where it’s needed. At our booth, #5345 Moscone North, you can watch demos of the Falcon platform and talk to one of the many CrowdStrike experts who’ll be on hand to answer all of your questions. Stop by to learn about recent modules such as Falcon Firewall ManagementTM and Falcon for MobileTM and new capabilities added to Falcon SpotlightTM, our vulnerability management solution. We are also debuting Elite programs, which have been added to our Falcon OverWatch and CROWDSTRIKE FALCON® INTELLIGENCETM Premium modules. From our Services group, you’ll learn about CrowdStrike Services enhanced enterprise management capabilities.
