CrowdStrike launched a standalone product this week that enables small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) to leverage machine learning algorithms to secure their IT environments. Daniel Bernard, chief business officer for CrowdStrike, said CrowdStrike Falcon Go provides a more effective alternative to antiquated antivirus software (AV) software that relies on signatures that, in terms of their ability to identify new threats, have proven to be ineffective. And at $4.99 per month, it is also priced at a level any SMB can afford. CrowdStrike Falcon Go is the first offering from the company that does not include any additional managed cybersecurity services. However, SMBs can upgrade their subscriptions to take advantage of the cybersecurity teams that CrowdStrike has assembled to provide cybersecurity services, noted Bernard. Additionally, it is working with third-party partners to enable them to provide managed cybersecurity services as an extension of the CrowdStrike Falcon Go platform.
