CrowdStrike Falcon platform now available on Microsoft Marketplace

CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) announced the CrowdStrike Falcon platform is now available on Microsoft Marketplace, allowing customers to purchase the cybersecurity platform using their existing Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment funds.

The arrangement enables organizations to apply their Azure spending commitments toward CrowdStrike purchases, streamlining procurement and billing processes. The companies state this allows customers to accelerate deployment of Falcon's protection across endpoints, cloud workloads, identity, AI, and data systems.

Customers can now consolidate purchasing and billing while optimizing their committed cloud spending through the marketplace integration. The Falcon platform provides cybersecurity protection with what CrowdStrike describes as AI-native technology.

"By enabling customers to apply their Azure Consumption Commitment in Microsoft Marketplace toward the Falcon platform, we are providing the financial flexibility they need to optimize cloud spend while adopting a rigorous security posture," said Judson Althoff, CEO of Microsoft's commercial business.

CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz stated: "By enabling customers to use Azure Consumption Commitment for CrowdStrike, we remove procurement friction and maximize the impact of the cloud investment they already have to stop breaches with the Falcon platform."

The CrowdStrike Falcon platform is immediately available via Microsoft Marketplace with full Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment eligibility. This represents an expansion of the existing strategic alliance between the two companies.

Gap Inc. Chief Information Security Officer Tom Le commented on the partnership, noting that both companies serve as strategic technology ecosystem components for the retailer's operations.
