CrowdStrike and Nord Security Announce SMB Cybersecurity Partnership

CrowdStrike and Nord Security have announced a strategic partnership that combines CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform with Nord Security’s secure access and credential management solutions to augment security for small-to-medium businesses.

According to CrowdStrike’s State of SMB Cybersecurity Survey, just 36% of SMBs are investing in new tools, and only 11% have adopted AI-powered defenses. At the same time, adversaries are increasingly targeting smaller organizations with enterprise-level attacks. This partnership is intended to address that gap.

Under the plan, Nord Security will offer Falcon Go, CrowdStrike’s AI-powered solution purpose-built for SMBs, and Falcon Enterprise directly through NordLayer, a toggle-ready network security platform for business, pairing the Falcon platform with NordLayer’s secure access. CrowdStrike, Nord Security, and Pax8 also plan to launch an add-on for Falcon Next-Gen SIEM that combines the capabilities of the Falcon platform with Nord Security’s secure access and network solutions, including 90 days of free access for qualifying customers.

“This partnership transforms how SMBs secure their business,” said Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer at CrowdStrike. “Together with Nord Security, we’re redefining cybersecurity for SMBs – combining the power of the Falcon platform with Nord Security’s SMB go-to-market prowess and secure access technology to deliver enterprise-grade protection that’s fast to deploy, simple to manage, and built to stop breaches.”

“Every growing business faces the same challenge: their attack surface is expanding faster than their ability to secure it,” said Mantas Ulozas, Chief Business Development Officer at B2B Commercial at Nord Security. “By combining our secure access and credential management solutions with CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform, we’re removing barriers of cost and complexity that have long limited SMBs’ access to enterprise-grade protection – giving them the visibility and confidence to defend against modern threats.”
