<\/p>\nCrowdStrike<\/a> has announced it is partnering with Nord Security<\/a> to provide joint cybersecurity solutions for SMBs worldwide.<\/p>\n Under the agreement, the companies will combine CrowdStrike\u2019s AI-native Falcon platform with Nord Security\u2019s secure access and credential management solutions to provide enterprise-grade protection on an SMB budget. Nord Security will offer CrowdStrike\u2019s SMB-focused Falcon Go and Falcon Enterprise directly through its NordLayer network security platform.<\/p>\n Meanwhile CrowdStrike, Nord Security and Pax8 will launch an add-on for the Falcon Next-Gen Security Information Event Management platform that will integrate Nord Security\u2019s secure access and network solutions. Qualifying customers will be provided with 90 days of free access.<\/p>\n CrowdStrike\u2019s State of SMB Cybersecurity Survey found that just 36% of SMBs are investing in new security tools, and only 11% have adopted AI-powered defences. SMBs are also increasingly being targeted by enterprise-level attacks.<\/p>\n Nord Security Chief Business Development Officer Mantas Ulozas said in this environment, businesses are facing the challenge of attack surfaces expanding faster than their ability to secure them.<\/p>\n \u201cBy combining our secure access and credential management solutions with CrowdStrike\u2019s Falcon platform, we\u2019re removing barriers of cost and complexity that have long limited SMBs\u2019 access to enterprise-grade protection \u2014\u00a0giving them the visibility and confidence to defend against modern threats,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n CrowdStrike Chief Business Officer Daniel Bernard added that the partnership has the potential to transform how SMBs secure their business.<\/p>\n \u201cTogether with Nord Security, we\u2019re redefining cybersecurity for SMBs \u2014\u00a0combining the power of the Falcon platform with Nord\u2019s SMB go-to-market prowess and secure access technology to deliver enterprise-grade protection that\u2019s fast to deploy, simple to manage, and built to stop breaches,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
