SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CrowdStrike® Inc., a leader in cloud-delivered endpoint protection, today announced the availability of the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace. Due to its cloud-native architecture, CrowdStrike Falcon can protect endpoints running on premise as well as in the cloud. The availability of Falcon on AWS Marketplace makes it easier for AWS customers to purchase and deploy Falcon via their existing AWS account, regardless of where the endpoints are located. The platform is currently available on AWS Marketplace in the U.S. with immediate plans to expand access for international regions.
CrowdStrike Falcon leverages AWS to ensure threat prevention and visibility for customers and is designed to provide industry-leading, effective, scalable, and efficient endpoint security. Now, organizations can deploy the lightweight CrowdStrike Falcon sensor on their AWS workloads and immediately gain threat prevention, detection, and response capabilities.
