AGI – It is not yet clear what caused the disruption of technology services affecting companies around the world. But it has become clear to everyone that it is a “technical issue with Crowdstrike.” Crowdstrike is a cybersecurity company founded in 2011 with the goal of protecting the world’s largest companies from online threats and vulnerabilities. It specializes in endpoint security and tries to prevent malicious software or files from affecting corporate networks from devices connected to them, such as phones and laptops, explains the BBC. It also aims to protect the data of companies that have changed to store data under their own roof or on their own servers to so-called cloud providers.
The company, which is based in Texas, is partnered by businessmen George Kurtz, who is the CEO, and Dmitri Alperovitch. It has been listed on Nasdaq since 2019. Since its launch, the company has played an important role in helping companies investigate cyber attacks. In 2016 he was called by the Democratic National Committee of the United States, the policy arm of the Democratic Party, to investigate the breach of its computer network that led to the now infamous leak of Hillary Clinton’s emails.
