Dell and CrowdStrike Unveil Expanded Security Collaboration

Dell Technologies and CrowdStrike announced an extended collaborative agreement to deploy Dell's Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services on the industry-leading AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon XDR platform, assisting clients in defending against increasingly complex cyberattacks.

According to the 2024 CrowdStrike Global Threat Report, cyberattacks are faster, more sophisticated and stealthier than ever. At the same time, organizations are forced to do more with less as the cybersecurity skills gap grows. To protect against modern threats, customers need a holistic, intuitive managed security solution that reduces complexity and serves as a force multiplier for existing security and IT teams. 

“Working with industry leaders like CrowdStrike is critical to delivering choice and flexibility to customers in a very fragmented and complex security landscape,” said Mihir Maniar, VP of infrastructure, edge and security services portfolio, Dell Technologies. "The combination of MDR and the CrowdStrike platform empowers customers to exponentially reduce threat exposures, detect and respond to incidents, and recover applications and systems”, added further.  

“The Falcon platform has quickly become the market’s cybersecurity platform of record. By expanding our strategic alliance with Dell to power their MDR services, we’re gaining access to more customers to bring them industry-leading protection,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer, of CrowdStrike. “Together with Dell, we see a significant opportunity to give all customers – from large enterprises to mid-market organizations and SMBs – the best security outcomes: stopping the breach, consolidating point products and driving down costs”, he added.  

Dell Managed Detection and Response is now available for global customers with the CrowdStrike Falcon XDR Platform as a direct solution and through channel partners.
