CrowdStrike Signs Distributor Agreement with SB C&S

CrowdStrike announced that it has signed a distributor agreement with SB C&S, extending its cybersecurity leadership position in Japan. The agreement will see SB C&S sell the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon®︎ platform. CrowdStrike continues to grow its market presence in Japan, as leading partners gravitate to the Falcon platform to replace legacy security providers and fragmented platforms.

The Asia Pacific and Japan region has long been a target for cyber criminals. According to the CrowdStrike 2023 Threat Hunting Report, the top five vertical industry sectors targeted in the region were technology, telecommunications, retail, financial and manufacturing. SB C&S will offer the CrowdStrike Falcon platform to meet the diverse needs of businesses across Japan and enable them to operate safe and secure IT environments, protected against modern cyber threats.

“In these days of rapid digitization, various companies and organizations, from large enterprises to SMB, are exposed to the threat of modern cyberattacks, and there is an urgent need to review cyber security measures throughout Japan, regardless of company size or industry. In addition, adversaries are becoming more sophisticated, and traditional security measures are not sufficient. CrowdStrike is a vendor that provides a world-class cyber security platform with its ‘cloud-native platform’ and ‘single agent architecture’. We will work with CrowdStrike through our sales partners to provide our customers with more secure cybersecurity services.”- Quote from Yasuo Mizoguchi, President & CEO, SB C&S Corp.

Headquartered in the U.S. with global operations, CrowdStrike is one of the fastest growing and most innovative security companies in the world. CrowdStrike is fueling the era of AI-powered cybersecurity to keep customers ahead of rapidly evolving adversary tradecraft and stop breaches. The company’s market-defining CrowdStrike Falcon platform, elite incident response and services, and renowned cyber threat intelligence team have made CrowdStrike one of the most trusted brands in cybersecurity.
