George Kurtz, who was formerly the CTO of McAfee, has
launched a new security technology company called
CrowdStrike. The company is still in stealth mode, but has revealed a $26 million series A investment from Warburg Pincus (Kurtz was
previously an EIR at the private equity firm).
Details are still minimal, but as Kurtz explains in a blog post announcing the launch, CrowdStrike is a security technology company focused on helping enterprises and governments protect their most sensitive intellectual property and national security information. CrowdStrike, which was co-founded with Dmitri Alperovitch and Gregg Marston, is trying to use big data mining to help companies and organizations battle cyber-security challenges.
