We operate large-scale distributed systems, processing almost 3 trillion events per day, with this traffic growing daily.

About the Falcon Platform

Falcon is CrowdStrike's purpose-built platform designed to stop breaches through a unified set of cloud-delivered technologies that prevent all types of attacks, including malware and much more.
