The collaboration combines CrowdStrike’s AI-native Falcon® platform opens in a new tab with Nord Security’s secure access and credential management solutions to deliver enterprise-grade protection that’s simple, accessible, and built for every business.
Challenged by limited budgets and cybersecurity expertise, CrowdStrike’s State of SMB Cybersecurity Survey opens in a new tab shows just 36% of small and midsize businesses are investing in new tools, and only 11% have adopted AI-powered defenses. At the same time, adversaries are increasingly targeting smaller organizations with enterprise-level attacks.

The partnership introduces two key innovations:
- Simplified e-commerce access: Nord Security will offer Falcon® Go opens in a new tab, CrowdStrike’s AI-powered solution purpose-built for SMBs, and Falcon® Enterprise opens in a new tab directly through the NordLayer opens in a new tab, a toggle-ready network security platform for business, pairing the power of the Falcon platform with NordLayer’s secure access to make enterprise-grade protection easy to buy and deploy.
