CrowdStrike Crowned AWS 2024 Global Security Partner of the Year

In a significant achievement for the cybersecurity industry, CrowdStrike has been named the AWS 2024 Global Security Partner of the Year. This prestigious accolade was announced during the Partner Awards Gala at AWS re:Invent 2024 in Las Vegas, highlighting CrowdStrike's critical role in securing innovation built on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The recognition comes as part of a triple triumph for CrowdStrike, which also secured the titles of AWS North America Marketplace Partner of the Year and AWS LATAM Public Sector Technology Partner of the Year. These awards underscore the company's deep partnership with AWS, spanning both technology and go-to-market strategies.

CrowdStrike's Falcon platform has been instrumental in transforming how AWS customers build, secure, and innovate their businesses in the cloud. The partnership between the two tech giants has set a new standard for cloud security, with AWS itself leveraging the CrowdStrike Falcon cybersecurity platform to protect its infrastructure and customers.

Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer at CrowdStrike, expressed enthusiasm about the recognition, stating, "CrowdStrike's partnership with AWS has defined how companies build and secure their businesses in the cloud." He also highlighted a significant milestone: CrowdStrike became the first cybersecurity independent software vendor (ISV) founded for the cloud to exceed $1 billion in software sales through AWS Marketplace.

The awards reflect CrowdStrike's commitment to excellence in cloud security and its ability to deliver customer value. The Geo and Global AWS Partner Awards recognize AWS Partners that excel in specialization, innovation, and customer satisfaction, celebrating those whose business models continue to evolve and thrive on AWS.

CrowdStrike's success extends beyond these three major awards. The company was also named a finalist in several other AWS Partner of the Year Award categories, including Global Healthcare Technology Partner of the Year, Global Infrastructure Technology Partner of the Year, and Global Public Sector Technology Partner of the Year, among others.

The partnership between CrowdStrike and AWS is not just about accolades; it's about driving real innovation and value for customers. Jim Finn, Vice President of Cybersecurity Sales at Presidio, a strategic partner of both companies, commented on the collaboration's impact: "From co-innovating around generative AI to expanding service offerings through the AWS Marketplace, we are creating new ways for organizations to achieve their goals."

In response to the growing importance of AI in cloud computing, CrowdStrike has expanded its Falcon Cloud Security offering to provide broader protections for AI usage on AWS. This expansion includes new scanning capabilities for AI containers and enhanced support for Amazon SageMaker, enabling partners and customers to secure AI technologies "at the source."

The enhanced support for Amazon SageMaker follows CrowdStrike's previously announced support for Amazon Bedrock, AWS's service for building generative AI applications. These developments demonstrate CrowdStrike's commitment to staying at the forefront of cloud security, particularly in the rapidly evolving field of AI and machine learning.

Additionally, CrowdStrike has expanded its Falcon Identity Protection offering through a new integration with AWS IAM Identity Center. This integration unifies visibility into identities while providing detection and response capabilities to protect against identity attacks in the cloud.

As cloud adoption continues to accelerate across industries, the partnership between CrowdStrike and AWS becomes increasingly crucial. The recognition as AWS 2024 Global Security Partner of the Year not only validates CrowdStrike's technological prowess but also its strategic importance in the cloud security ecosystem.

Looking ahead, CrowdStrike is poised to continue its innovation in cloud security, with a particular focus on AI and machine learning technologies. As organizations worldwide grapple with evolving cyber threats, the collaboration between CrowdStrike and AWS stands as a beacon of security and innovation in the cloud computing landscape.
