كراودسترايك القابضة (CrowdStrike Holdings)، هي شركة تكنولوجيا أمن سيبراني أمريكية مقرها أوستن، تكساس. توفر الشركة حماية أحمال الأعمال السحابية وحماية نقطة النهاية ومخابرات التهديدات وخدمات الاستجابة للهجمات السيبرانية.[2][3]

شاركت الشركة في تحقيقات العديد من الهجمات السيبرانية البارزة، بما في ذلك اختراق سوني پيكتشرز 2014، والهجمات السيبرانية على اللجنة الوطنية الديمقراطية 2015-2016، وتسريبات البريد الإلكتروني للجنة الوطنية الديمقراطية 2016.[4][5] في يوليو 2024، تسبب تحديث خاطئ لبرنامج الأمان الخاص بالشركة في انقطاع عالمي لأجهزة الحاسوب مما أدى إلى تعطيل السفر الجوي والخدمات المصرفية والبث وغيرها من الخدمات.[6][7][8]

التاريخ

التأسيس: 2011–2019

CrowdStrike was co-founded in 2011 by George Kurtz (CEO), Dmitri Alperovitch (former CTO), and Gregg Marston (CFO, retired).[9][10][11][12] The following year, they hired Shawn Henry, a former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) official, to lead the subsidiary CrowdStrike Services, Inc., which offered security and response services.[13][14] The company launched its first product in June 2013: CrowdStrike Falcon, which provided endpoint protection, threat intelligence and attribution.[15][16]

In May 2014, CrowdStrike's reports helped the United States Department of Justice to charge five Chinese military hackers with economic cyber espionage against U.S. corporations.[17] CrowdStrike also uncovered the activities of Energetic Bear, a group connected to Russia's Federal Security Service that conducted intelligence operations against global targets, primarily in the energy sector.[18]

After the Sony Pictures hack, CrowdStrike uncovered evidence implicating the government of North Korea and demonstrated how the attack was carried out.[19] In 2014, CrowdStrike helped identify members of Putter Panda, the state-sponsored Chinese group of hackers also known as PLA Unit 61486.[20][21]

In May 2015, the company released information about VENOM, a critical flaw in an open-source hypervisor called Quick Emulator (QEMU) that allowed attackers to access sensitive personal information.[22][23] In October 2015, CrowdStrike announced that it had identified Chinese hackers attacking technology and pharmaceutical companies around the time that U.S. President Barack Obama and China's leader Xi Jinping publicly agreed not to conduct economic espionage against each other. The alleged hacking would have been in violation of that agreement.[24]

In July 2015, Google invested in the company's Series C funding round, which was followed by Series D and Series E, raising a total of $480 million as of May 2019.[25][26][27]

In 2017, the company reached a valuation of more than $1 billion with an estimated annual revenue of $100 million.[28] In June 2018, the company said it was valued at more than $3 billion.[26] Investors include Telstra, March Capital Partners, Rackspace, Accel Partners and Warburg Pincus.[29][30]

In June 2019, the company made an initial public offering on the Nasdaq.[31][32]

الاستحواذات: 2020–2024

In September 2020, CrowdStrike acquired zero trust and conditional access technology provider Preempt Security for $96 million.[33] In February 2021, the company acquired Danish log management platform Humio for $400 million with plans to integrate Humio's log aggregation into CrowdStrike's XDR offering.[34] Later that November, CrowdStrike acquired SecureCircle, a SaaS-based cybersecurity service that extends zero trust endpoint security to include data.[35] In December 2021, the company moved its headquarters location from Sunnyvale, California, to Austin, Texas.[36] In 2023, CrowdStrike introduced CrowdStream service in collaboration with Cribl.io.[37] CrowdStrike has also focused on working with the U.S. government and selling its services to government agencies.[38] CrowdStrike joined the S&P 500 index in June 2024.[39] In 2023, CrowdStrike acquired Israeli cybersecurity startup Bionic.ai.[40] In 2024, CrowdStrike acquired Israeli startup Flow Security.[41]

حادث 2024

المقالة الرئيسية: حادث كراودسترايك 2024

في 19 يوليو 2024، أصدرت كراودسترايك تحديثًا لماسح الثغرات الأمنية فالكون سنسور. تسببت العيوب في التحديث في ظهور شاشات الموت الزرقاء على أجهزة مايكروسوفت ويندوز، مما أدى إلى تعطيل ملايين أجهزة الحاسوب التي تعمل بنظام ويندوز في جميع أنحاء العالم.[42][43] أُجبرت الأجهزة المتأثرة على الدخول في Bootloop، مما جعلها غير صالحة للاستخدام. تسبب التوقف في تأثير عالمي واسع النطاق، مما أدى إلى توقف رحلات الطيران التجارية، وإيقاف سكاي نيوز وغيرها من القنوات مؤقتًا عن العمل، وتعطيل الخدمات المصرفية والرعاية الصحية بالإضافة إلى مراكز الاتصال في حالات الطوارئ 911.[44][45] بحلول نهاية اليوم، انخفض سعر سهم كراودسترايك 39.09 دولار، أو بنسبة 11.10%، ليبلغ 304.96 دولار.[46]

التحقيقات في اختراق روسي

CrowdStrike helped investigate the Democratic National Committee cyberattacks and a connection to Russian intelligence services. On March 20, 2017, James Comey testified before congress stating, "CrowdStrike, Mandiant, and ThreatConnect review[ed] the evidence of the hack and conclude[d] with high certainty that it was the work of APT 28 and APT 29 who are known to be Russian intelligence services."[47] Comey previously testified in January 2017 that a request for FBI forensics investigators to access the DNC servers was denied, saying "Ultimately what was agreed to is the private company [CrowdStrike] would share with us what they saw."[48]

In December 2016, CrowdStrike released a report stating that Russian government-affiliated group Fancy Bear had hacked a Ukrainian artillery app.[49] They concluded that Russia had used the hack to cause large losses to Ukrainian artillery units. The app (called ArtOS) is installed on tablet PCs and used for fire-control.[50] CrowdStrike also found a hacked variation of POPR-D30 being distributed on Ukrainian military forums that utilized an X-Agent implant.[51]

The International Institute for Strategic Studies rejected CrowdStrike's assessment that claimed hacking caused losses to Ukrainian artillery units, saying that their data on Ukrainian D30 howitzer losses was misused in CrowdStrike's report. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense also rejected the CrowdStrike report, stating that actual artillery losses were much smaller than what was reported by CrowdStrike and were not associated with Russian hacking.[52] Prior to this, CrowdStrike had published a report claiming that malware used in Ukraine and against the Democratic National Committee (DNC) appeared to be unique and identical, further evidence for a Russian origin of the DNC attack.[53]

Cybersecurity firm SecureWorks discovered a list of email addresses targeted by Fancy Bear in phishing attacks. The list included the email address of Yaroslav Sherstyuk, the developer of ArtOS.[54] Additional Associated Press research supports CrowdStrike's conclusions about Fancy Bear.[55] Radio Free Europe notes that the AP report "lends some credence to the original CrowdStrike report, showing that the app had, in fact, been targeted."[56]

In the Trump–Ukraine scandal, Donald Trump, then the president of the United States, held a July 25, 2019, phone call with Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, in which Trump asked Zelensky to look into a conspiracy theory that was being promoted on far-right websites such as Breitbart News and Russian state media outlets such as Russia Today and Sputnik.[57] The theory held that namely, that the Ukrainian government used CrowdStrike to hack into the Democratic National Committee's servers in 2016 and frame Russia for the crime to undermine Trump in the 2016 presidential election.[58][59] The conspiracy theory has been repeatedly debunked.[60][61][62]
