CrowdStrike, a Software-as-a Service (SaaS) based endpoint protection provider has secured a $100 million funding round, led by Google Capital, bringing its total funding raised to-date to $156 million. Rackspace, a CrowdStrike customer, also participated in the round along with existing investors Accel and Warburg Pincus.
The company believes that the latest round of capital injection will help them to further accelerate their domestic and international expansion. CrowdStrike claims that it has more than tripled its growth of total billings and employees year-over-year, and significantly increased its core customer base.
