Cybersecurity company CrowdStrike has inked a deal with and EY to integrate its digital defences and risk management solutions within the enterprise.

The teamup will combine CrowdStrike’s cybersecurity technologies with EY’s consulting capabilities and cyber services. The collaboration will especifically focus on addressing cyber risk and threat management, cyber incident response and cyber threat intelligence.

“Implementing quality cybersecurity technology is essential as cyber attacks become increasingly advanced and prevalent,” said Dave Burg, EY Americas cybersecurity leader. “CrowdStrike is a cybersecurity market-leader equipped with the innovative technology organizations need to create dependable and capable safeguards and strategies.

“EY professionals can combine transformational consulting experience with the CrowdStrike platform to help businesses establish proactive cybersecurity plans to both mitigate and prevent potential cyber attacks.”

The two companies particularly celebrated CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform for its scalable cloud-based architecture that can play critical role in protecting a workforce dispersed to working remotely due to the coronavirus crisis.

“CrowdStrike Falcon has been selected by elite businesses worldwide as a transformative solution that delivers simplicity, speed and efficacy for an overwhelming cybersecurity threat operations landscape, helping security teams to quickly identify and stop breaches before they occur,” said George Kurtz, co-founder and CEO of CrowdStrike.

“Being named an EY preferred technology platform for security services provides the benefit of collaborating on innovating and leading transformational consulting services to aid organizations in achieving maximum value in cybersecurity operations – positively impacting business objectives and elevating the cybersecurity conversation from the security operations centre to the boardroom.”

The deal is another feather in the hat for CrowdStrike. In August we reported that CrowdStrike has seemingly proven just how paramount digital defences have become during the pandemic, seeing its stocks and jumped to $98.10. The share price is currently at $147.79.
