AWS partner awards are presented to those who set the platform for innovation by helping customers in various industries, including the public sector. The awards celebrate the achievements of companies that AWS recognizes as the best in the industry for protecting today’s corporate world and the government from an array of sophisticated risks and threats.

As the best cybersecurity solution within the 2021 AWS Global Public Sector Partner award program, CrowdStrike won this accolade for providing its public sector specific customers with comprehensive endpoint and workload protection and visibility by using machine learning, behavioral analytics and proactive threat hunting to stop all attack types, while making sure they meet the most stringent compliance requirements. 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.

“We are honored to have received both AWS partner awards,” said Matthew Polly, vice president, Worldwide Alliances, Channel and Business Development, CrowdStrike. “These awards speak directly to our ability to protect public sector customers’ endpoints and workloads through machine learning, behavioral analytics and proactive threat hunting to stop attacks.
