CrowdStrike & Ignition expand cybersecurity to Ireland

CrowdStrike and Ignition Technology have announced an expansion of their partnership to bring the CrowdStrike Falcon platform to partners in Ireland.

The expanded distribution agreement sees CrowdStrike, known for its AI-native cybersecurity solutions, extending its reach through Ignition Technology into Ireland. The collaboration between the two companies has already seen considerable success in other European regions, such as the UK and the Nordics, where their regional partner business has grown by more than 85% year over year.

The Falcon platform is being introduced to help Irish businesses access advanced cybersecurity solutions designed to prevent breaches in real time. It promises to simplify cybersecurity and operations while offering the potential to consolidate multiple cybersecurity products into a unified solution.

Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer at CrowdStrike, commented on the partnership: "Innovative and driven partners like Ignition doubling down with CrowdStrike validates the Falcon platform's market leadership in stopping breaches, yielding the outcome of accelerating business traction across regions and customer segments. We're proud of the momentum we've built with Ignition in key European markets and look forward to bringing our cutting-edge technology to even more businesses in Ireland."

Peter Ledger, CEO of Ignition Technology, expressed confidence in the expansion to Ireland: "Our experience working with CrowdStrike in the UK and Nordics makes continued expansion into Ireland an easy decision. Our service partners recognise the unmatched protection, cost savings and simplified cybersecurity that are hallmarks of CrowdStrike, while enabling us to cross-sell and drive new business opportunities with its breadth of best-in-class offerings across the Falcon platform. We look forward to expanding our reach, together shaping a more secure future for businesses across Europe."

Ignition Technology will leverage its expertise in channel development and its network of solution provider partners to enhance cybersecurity measures for businesses of all sizes. The aim is to reduce complexity in cybersecurity, driving a transformation that aligns with the needs of its Irish customer base.

The CrowdStrike Falcon platform is powered by the CrowdStrike Security Cloud and integrates advanced AI to provide automated protection, elite threat hunting, and comprehensive vulnerability observability. It offers rapid deployment that is scalable to meet enterprises' needs, providing both superior protection and reduced complexity.

This expanded partnership between CrowdStrike and Ignition Technology brings advanced cybersecurity solutions to the Irish market, equipping businesses with the tools to enhance their security against evolving threats. By leveraging CrowdStrike's AI-powered Falcon platform and Ignition's channel expertise, the collaboration aims to streamline cybersecurity efforts for Irish organisations, facilitating stronger protections and operational efficiencies.
