AUSTIN, Texas – November 8, 2023 – CrowdStrike (Nasdaq: CRWD) has been named a growth leader among cybersecurity companies selling through the channel, according to a report released by Canalys, an independent analyst firm.

Out of every category and sub-category, channel services are growing faster over the next 4-5 years. CrowdStrike is outgrowing the overall cybersecurity market,” said Jay McBain, Chief Analyst at Canalys. “It has established itself as one of the fastest growing cybersecurity companies in the channel over the last 5-6 years.”
