02 Jul George Kurtz On The Genesis Of CrowdStrike: “Salesforce Of Security”
This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine
Sausalito, Calif. – Jul. 2, 2025
George Kurtz, CrowdStrike’s founder and CEO, sat down with Cybersecurity Ventures at the RSA Conference USA 2025 in San Francisco and shared the past, present, and future of the cloud security powerhouse that is valued at over $100 billion and protects governments, Fortune 500, and Global 2000 companies.
A 3-minute video produced by Cybercrime Magazine and released on our YouTube channel reveals the strategic mindset behind one of cybersecurity’s most influential leaders – from his early “Hacking Exposed” breakthrough book to pioneering cloud-native breach prevention that stops attacks in real-time.
“The founding idea around CrowdStrike is what I call the Salesforce of security, the first cloud-based security company that created better outcomes of stopping breaches, not malware, and created a great user experience,” Kurtz said.
