In addition, CrowdStrike is expanding its use of AWS services, including Amazon Bedrock and AWS SageMaker, to drive industry leading innovation in cloud security, SIEM transformation, and novel cybersecurity AI use cases. CrowdStrike and AWS continue to bring together the best technologies to help customers build and secure business in the cloud.
