About the company

CrowdStrike builds cybersecurity software for organizations that need to protect computers, cloud workloads, identities and data from digital attacks. Its Falcon platform combines these defenses in one cloud system, using a lightweight sensor on devices to collect activity and detect suspicious behavior. Security teams investigate alerts and automate responses through a shared console, while the platform connects information from different parts of a business to reveal attacks that isolated tools miss. Customers pay subscription fees based on the products and assets covered, and CrowdStrike also charges for incident response services. CrowdStrike was founded in 2011 and is based in Austin, Texas.

Arista vs CrowdStrike: $10.5B revenue and 38% margin face off against faster-valued cybersecurity growth

Arista Networks and CrowdStrike offer different ways to bet on enterprise infrastructure, one in networking hardware and the other in cybersecurity software. A Motley Fool analyst favours CrowdStrike for long-term growth. Arista's trailing 12-month revenue reached $10.5 billion, up about 33%, with net income of $4 billion and free cash flow near $5.1 billion. CrowdStrike's revenue was nearly $5.4 billion, up about 24%, with net income of roughly $38 million and free cash flow near $1.6 billion. CrowdStrike trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 182.0x, against 44.5x for Arista. Its price-to-sales ratio is 43.3x, against 21.9x. CrowdStrike expects annualised revenue to nearly double to $10 billion by 2030. Arista faces growing competition from Nvidia.

QIZ launches cryptography posture management platform on CrowdStrike Marketplace

QIZ Security's Cryptography Posture Management platform is now available for purchase on the CrowdStrike Marketplace, the company announced on October 19, 2026. The platform shows organisations where their cryptography is weak or non-compliant, helping teams prioritise fixes and prepare for post-quantum cryptography (PQC). It flags vulnerable TLS and SSH configurations, expiring certificates, and quantum-vulnerable algorithms without needing another endpoint agent. QIZ links these findings to host, application, and infrastructure context to identify root causes and owners. "Availability through the CrowdStrike Marketplace makes it easier for customers to adopt these capabilities through an ecosystem they already trust," said Ben Volkow, chief executive officer and co-founder of QIZ Security.

AI hacking attacks jump 89% as cybersecurity stocks split into platforms and point solutions

AI-powered hacking attacks jumped 89% last year, according to CrowdStrike's own threat report. The finding is pushing buyers to choose between one connected security platform and a pile of separate tools. CrowdStrike's Falcon Flex bundling programme has grown its contracted value past $2 billion, more than doubling in a year. Palo Alto Networks added about 220 "platformization" deals in a recent quarter, more than twice the pace of two years earlier. Fortinet is using its lead in network firewalls to cross-sell. SentinelOne, Cloudflare, and Zscaler make thinner platform cases. Okta remains a point solution focused on verifying logins. CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks are both down more than 13% from their October 6 record highs, amid reports that OpenAI may buy a cybersecurity startup.

Investors paid 50.0 times revenue at the end of September 2026, against 28.2 times a year earlier. Rivals did well too: Fortinet returned 118.6% and Palo Alto Networks 75.8%. The next report, expected around November 30, 2026, will show whether growth is still building.
