Box and CrowdStrike Partner to
Combat Cyber Threats and Secure Content in the Cloud
New Partnership Delivers
First-Of-Its-Kind Security Capabilities To Joint Customers Of All Sizes
Box, Inc.,and Crowdstrike announced a partnership to help organizations
of all sizes secure their data in the cloud and stop data-related breaches. The
partnership includes a new integration between Box’s secure content management
and collaboration capabilities with CrowdStrike’s modern, AI-powered security
CrowdStrike Falcon platform for real-time access control and threat
prevention. As a result, security and IT teams can detect malicious files,
ransomware, and suspicious activity as well as configure security policies
directly in Box’s administrative console.
With this new integration, Box
will leverage the CrowdStrike Falcon platform’s Zero Trust Assessment (ZTA)
technology to extend protection across the entire cloud-to-endpoint-to
application estate. This empowers joint customers to bring together powerful
contextual insights from device posture and data access to evaluate risks in
real-time, build granular policies and take remediation actions.
"With the volume and cost
of data breaches on the rise, it is critical for businesses to quickly identify
threats and effectively contain attacks before they cause business disruption,”
said Aaron Levie, Co-Founder and CEO of Box. “Our mission at Box is to create a
trusted platform that helps businesses of all sizes securely share, manage, and
collaborate on their content from any device and across any application. By
partnering with CrowdStrike, the defining market leader for AI-native
cybersecurity built for the cloud era, we are setting a new standard for
securing files in the cloud providing native security solutions that protect
data inside and outside of their company’s perimeter without getting in the way
of work.”
Additionally, Box and
CrowdStrike will join forces to help secure data at smaller organizations in
need of modern cybersecurity by offering Box and CrowdStrike’s SMB solutions,
CrowdStrike Falcon Go and Falcon Pro.
“Today’s threat landscape
impacts businesses of all sizes and across all industries. Organizations large
and small – especially those operating in highly regulated industries – have
long trusted Box as their secure content management solution of choice,” said
Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer at CrowdStrike. “By partnering with Box,
we have a great opportunity to bring AI-powered, enterprise-grade cybersecurity
to everyone from SMBs to the Fortune 500.”
