As a global leader in cybersecurity, Crowd Strike protects the people, processes, and technologies that drive modern organizations. Since 2011, our mission hasn’t changed — we’re here to stop breaches, and we’ve redefined modern security with the world’s most advanced AI-native platform.

The Role
Crowd Strike Falcon Host is a two‑component security product.
