CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) announced that Optiv, the cyber advisory and solutions leader, has surpassed the $1 billion milestone in sales of its AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon platform through the CrowdStrike Accelerate Partner Program. This achievement demonstrates the growth, materiality and impact CrowdStrike and Optiv create through their global partnership, delivering the leading products and services customers need to protect against modern threats and consolidate security spend.
The powerful combination of Optiv’s data-driven, outcome-focused partner program and CrowdStrike’s industry-leading Falcon platform accelerates cybersecurity transformation and modernization for global customers across vertical industries such as healthcare, retail, financial services, media and telecommunications and manufacturing. CrowdStrike has been a consistent and valued presence in Optiv’s customer-focused strategy, driving platform consolidation and reducing risk across device, cloud, identity, data and beyond. The two market leaders provide customers with fully managed security solutions that maximizes technology investment and improves business outcomes.
“Crossing the $1 billion milestone exemplifies the unique Optiv-CrowdStrike partnership – not only in terms of business performance, but also in terms of customer impact. From the dawn of CrowdStrike’s AI revolution in cybersecurity, Optiv has been a committed partner, with us shoulder to shoulder fighting adversaries, replacing legacy products, and bringing the entirety of the Falcon platform to their blue-chip customers,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. “We see significant opportunity driving new logo lands and platform expansion. Congratulations to Optiv for this material milestone on our joint growth journey, together delivering cybersecurity transformation to organizations of all sizes and — most importantly — CrowdStrike’s commitment to stopping breaches.”
