Who hacks the hackers? Meet CrowdStrike
Bad news for would-be hackers targeting Americans: There’s a new cybersheriff in town.
After 24 years of service with the FBI, Shawn Henry, the head of the agency’s Cyber Crimes Unit, left service to become the president of security start-up CrowdStrike. And his brand of cyber security focuses on engaging the adversary and taking an offensive approach, by using their own hacking techniques against them.
The company’s tagline “You don’t have a malware problem, you have an adversary problem!” reflects their security style. In addition to Henry, the rest of the team also has extensive experience advising public, private, and government agencies. They bring a wealth of experience at identifying hackers, advanced threats and attacks, malware and reverse engineering against hackers.
