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.

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. C************** 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.”
