  • The new strategic alliance enables organizations to manage cyber threats and safeguard their endpoints, cloud workloads, identities, and data by providing tailored offerings for companies of all sizes.
  • The VMware Telco Cloud Platform, a joint venture between Dell and VMware Inc., allows network operators to deploy virtual networks and cloud-native functions to achieve telco-grade resilience and service availability.

Recently, CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. and Dell Technologies Inc. announced a new strategic partnership to provide organizations with seamless and affordable offerings for preventing, detecting, and responding to cyberthreats.

The new strategic alliance enables organizations to manage cyber threats and safeguard their endpoints, cloud workloads, identities, and data by providing tailored offerings for companies of all sizes. The partnership opens up a sizable portion of the market and hastens the transition from point and legacy products to a single platform.

Due to the alliance, the CrowdStrike Falcon platform is now sold with volume licensing, assisting medium-sized and large businesses, public sector organizations, and individuals in consolidating expenses, platforms, and contracts while meeting security and compliance requirements.

In the upcoming months, CrowdStrike will also be accessible across various Dell offerings, including purchasing Dell commercial personal computers.

In a statement, Sam Burd, president of Dell’s Client Solutions Group, said, “Today’s complex threat landscape calls for a collaborative approach that brings together industry-leading technologies and world-class teams to build the strongest defense for our customers. Our work with CrowdStrike is the latest example of how we’re helping organizations stay ahead of threats. As our strategic collaboration continues, the fundamental principle remains clear: help customers tackle their security challenges with ease and simplicity.”

When CrowdStrike upgraded its Falcon platform with adversary-driven External Attack Surface Management technology in December, that made headlines. One expansion component is Falcon Surface, a brand-new standalone module incorporating capabilities from CrowdStrike’s most recent acquisition of Reposify Ltd.

The VMware Telco Cloud Platform, a joint venture between Dell and VMware Inc., allows network operators to deploy virtual networks and cloud-native functions to achieve telco-grade resilience and service availability.
