Supporting and developing the future of cybersecurity
The support available to the companies will come in multiple forms, including access to AWS’ cloud infrastructure, leading cybersecurity experts, customised mentoring sessions, technical expertise. As well as support to develop the companies offerings, the programme also aims to provide the companies longevity once the Accelerator is over. This comes in the form of partnership opportunities from the AWS Startup Loft Accelerator (SLA) program, potential to receive funding from CrowdStrike’s strategic investment vehicle, CrowdStrike® Falcon Fund, and up to $25,000 in AWS Activate Credits to further build their business.
At the end of the two months, an innovation award winner will be announced at in-person Demo Day during RSA Conference 2024 in San Francisco.
“CrowdStrike took cybersecurity to the cloud, building our platform on AWS – together we’ve propelled how companies build and secure their businesses in the cloud, from code to runtime,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. “We are thrilled to partner with AWS to share tech expertise, best practices and business-critical resources for the next-generation of cybersecurity innovators building on AWS and the Falcon platform.”
