Australia’s largest business bank partners with
the global cybersecurity leader to deliver security with the speed,
expertise and flexibility customers need to stop breaches
CrowdStrike (Nasdaq: CRWD) today announced a strategic
partnership with National Australia Bank (NAB), Australia’s largest
business bank. NAB is providing one year of complimentary access to
CrowdStrike Falcon® Go - the industry’s leading AI-powered
cybersecurity protection for small and medium-sized businesses
(SMBs).
According to the CrowdStrike 2024 Global Threat Report, the
financial services industry continues to be heavily targeted by
eCrime threat actors. In addition, SMBs are uniquely at risk when
it comes to cyberattacks, as 60% of SMBs that suffer a data breach
go out of business within six months of the attack. SMBs often lack
the resources, technical expertise and mature security
infrastructure that large organizations use to defend against
modern threats.
NAB is building in customer protection by providing access to
CrowdStrike Falcon Go for its SMB customers. Falcon Go includes
next-generation antivirus (NGAV) and device control for USB device
protection, which is AI-powered by a single, lightweight agent
that’s easy to deploy and manage for smaller organizations.
“The number of cyber attacks impacting small businesses
continues to grow year on year, and our research tells us small and
medium businesses are one of the least cyber prepared sectors. As
Australia’s leading business bank, we have an important role to
play to help educate and assist the small and medium-sized
businesses that bank with us to ensure they remain secure,” said
NAB Chief Security Officer, Sandro Bucchianeri. “By working with
CrowdStrike, we’re looking to connect customers with some of the
best and most trusted cyber defenses. We’re urging all businesses
to evaluate their security before it’s too late.”
“CrowdStrike Falcon Go is AI-powered and purpose-built to bring
modern cybersecurity to smaller businesses. It’s easy to use and
stops breaches,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer for
CrowdStrike. “For NAB to recognise the need to help educate and
protect its customers is both innovative and responsible. At
CrowdStrike, we talk about cybersecurity being a team sport, and
this initiative from NAB is a quintessential example of that in
practice, raising the cybersecurity bar for small and medium-sized
businesses across Australia and the region.”
Further information about CrowdStrike Falcon Go and how
CrowdStrike works with SMBs is available on the CrowdStrike
website.
