    About

    In practice. What you can do with Crowdstrike.

    CrowdStrike Falcon is a market reference in EDR and XDR (threat detection and response), recognised for how it holds up against advanced attacks. Falcon Go, its entry tier for small businesses, is capped at 100 endpoints and billed at roughly 5 euros per endpoint per month in monthly equivalent ($30 per endpoint billed annually).

    Above Falcon Go, the tiers climb quickly, up to $60 per endpoint per month at the higher levels, and target organisations with more complex security needs.

    For a small business under 100 endpoints with a serious protection need beyond basic antivirus, Falcon Go is a credible and affordable option. Beyond that, CrowdStrike becomes a substantial security investment that a real risk profile has to justify.

    Practical uses

    • Protect enterprise device fleet.
    • Deploy centralized threat detection.
    • Ensure regulatory complianceSecurity audit.
