Security Cloud leader’s Chief Security Officer
and President of CrowdStrike Services, Shawn Henry, takes home
inaugural executive award
CrowdStrike, a leader in cloud-delivered endpoint and workload
protection, today announced it was recognized as a recipient of the
2021 SC Awards in three categories: Best Cloud Computing Security
Solution, Best Managed Security Service and the inaugural Security
Executive of the Year award for Shawn Henry, president of
CrowdStrike Services and chief security officer.
Now in its 25th year, the SC Awards are considered the industry
gold standard of accomplishment for cybersecurity professionals,
products and services. The awards celebrate the achievements of
companies and information security professionals that the
organization recognizes as the best in the industry for protecting
today’s corporate world from an array of risks and threats. The
award winners were chosen by an expert panel of judges with
extensive knowledge and experience in the cybersecurity
industry.
“We are honored to receive such prominent awards for our
achievements in cloud security and managed security services by a
program as esteemed as the SC Awards. This speaks to our vision of
offering customers the most powerful combination of technology and
services on the market,” said Marianne Budnik, chief marketing
officer of CrowdStrike. “Additionally, there’s no security leader
more deserving of the inaugural executive of the year award than
Shawn Henry. Shawn has been instrumental in modernizing
cybersecurity practices and resiliency for both the public and
private sectors for well over 30 years, gaining the support,
commitment and comradery from peers, colleagues and customers all
over the world. We applaud Shawn on this achievement.”
Recognized as the Best Cloud Computing Solution for 2021, the
cloud-native CrowdStrike Falcon® platform was designed to overcome
the limitations of legacy security solutions, with the ability to
scale to meet the needs of businesses, whether they have 10
workloads or a million workloads to secure. Falcon predicts and
prevents modern threats in real time through its industry-leading
set of endpoint and cloud workload telemetry, threat intelligence
and AI-powered analytics. The unique benefits of its single-agent
architecture include immediate time-to-value, better performance,
reduced cost and complexity and better protection for on-premises
and multi-cloud environments.
Leveraging the Falcon platform, Falcon Complete, CrowdStrike’s
leading managed detection and response (MDR) solution, combines the
platform’s endpoint protection technology, actionable intelligence
and skilled expertise to deliver comprehensive security and reduce
risk. A key component to CrowdStrike’s MDR approach is its
industry-leading threat hunting team, CrowdStrike Falcon Overwatch,
delivering around-the-clock expertise, including managed hunting to
uncover even the most sophisticated threats, while simplifying SOC
operations and day-to-day security management.
“Thanks to CrowdStrike, we know exactly what we're dealing with,
which is a visibility I never had before. That gives me a good deal
of comfort,” said Rob Thomas Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team
chief operating officer.
“By analyzing the millions of data points generated by a vast
and diverse customer base, often in real time, CrowdStrike is able
to provide our team with a comprehensive and clear picture of
exactly what is happening across the globe, 24/7. That’s an
essential ingredient in protecting us from issues long before they
become a problem,” said Michael Taylor, IT director at the
Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team.
This year, CrowdStrike was positioned by Gartner as the security
vendor placed furthest for Completeness of Vision and a Leader in
the 2021 Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms
(EPP).
