\n AUSTIN, Texas and NEW YORK, Jan. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) and Nord Security today announced a strategic partnership to redefine SMB cybersecurity. The collaboration combines CrowdStrike\u2019s AI-native Falcon\u00ae platform with Nord Security\u2019s secure access and credential management solutions to deliver enterprise-grade protection that\u2019s simple, accessible, and built for every business.
\nChallenged by limited budgets and cyber security expertise, CrowdStrike\u2019s State of SMB Cybersecurity Survey shows just 36% of small and midsize businesses 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 directly addresses that gap, seamlessly giving SMBs access to the AI-powered protection, intelligence, and speed trusted by the world\u2019s largest enterprises.The partnership introduces two key innovations:<\/p>\n

Simplified e-commerce access: Nord Security will offer Falcon\u00ae Go, CrowdStrike\u2019s AI-powered solution purpose-built for SMBs, and Falcon\u00ae Enterprise directly through NordLayer, a toggle-ready network security platform for business, pairing the power of the Falcon platform with NordLayer\u2019s secure access to make enterprise-grade protection easy to buy and deploy.Expanded MSP offerings through Pax8: CrowdStrike, Nord Security, and Pax8 will launch an add-on for Falcon\u00ae Next-Gen SIEM that combines speed, detection and accuracy of the Falcon platform with Nord Security\u2019s secure access and network solutions, including 90 days of free access for qualifying customers. “This partnership transforms how SMBs secure their business,\u201d said Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer at CrowdStrike. “Together with Nord Security, we\u2019re redefining cybersecurity for SMBs – combining the power of the Falcon platform with Nord Security\u2019s SMB go-to-market prowess and secure access technology to deliver enterprise-grade protection that\u2019s fast to deploy, simple to manage, and built to stop breaches.\u201d”Every growing business faces the same challenge: their attack surface is expanding faster than their\u00a0ability to secure it,\u201d said Mantas Ulozas, Chief Business Development Officer at B2B Commercial at Nord\u00a0Security. “By combining our secure access and credential management solutions with CrowdStrike\u2019s\u00a0Falcon platform, we\u2019re removing barriers of cost and complexity that have long limited SMBs\u2019 access to\u00a0enterprise-grade protection – giving them the visibility and confidence to defend against modern threats.\u201d<\/p>\n
