Doing a little digging on [Crowdstrike].

CrowdStrike, Inc. is an American cybersecurity technology company based in Sunnyvale, California, and a wholly owned subsidiary of CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. The company provides endpoint security, threat intelligence, and incident response services to customers in more than 170 countries.[1][2] The company has been involved in countermeasure efforts to several high-profile cyber-attacks, including the Sony Pictures hack,[3] the 2016 Democratic National Committee email leak, and the Democratic National Committee cyber attacks.[4]

CrowdStrike was co-founded by entrepreneur George Kurtz (CEO),[5][6] Dmitri Alperovitch (CTO),[7] and Gregg Marston (CFO, retired). In 2012, Shawn Henry, a former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) executive who led both the FBI's criminal and cyber divisions, was hired to lead sister company CrowdStrike Services, Inc., which is focused on proactive and incident response services.[8] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CrowdStrike

George Kurtz -

George Kurtz is the co-founder and CEO of cybersecurity company CrowdStrike. He was also the founder of Foundstone and chief technology officer of McAfee.[3]

In November 2011, Kurtz joined private equity firm Warburg Pincus as an "executive in residence" and began working on his next project, CrowdStrike. He, Gregg Marston (former chief financial officer at Foundstone), and Alperovitch co-founded CrowdStrike in Irvine, California, formally announcing the company's launch in February 2012.[15][16] Kurtz pitched the idea for the company to Warburg Pincus and secured $25 million in funding.[2][17]

In his personal time, Kurtz races an Audi R8 LMS GT4 in the Pirelli World Challenge.[1][21] Previously, he raced in the Radical Cup and Sports Car Club of America endurance events.[22] Apparently Kurtz likes to race. Some connection to Avenatti perhaps and maybe more?

CrowdStrike shifted the focus from anti-malware and antivirus products (McAfee's approach to cybersecurity) to identifying the techniques used by hackers in order to spot incoming threats.[18][19] The company also focuses on a "cloud-first" model in order to reduce the software load on customers' computers.[18] CrowdStrike, now headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, attracted public interest in June 2016 for its role in investigating the Democratic National Committee cyber attacks,[14] and in May 2017, the company exceeded a valuation of $1 billion.[20]
