Deloitte's annual ranking recognises the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, fintech and energy tech companies in North America. While the list is historically dominated by start-ups showing extreme growth on a small base, CrowdStrike provided a leading example of cybersecurity heavyweights on this years list that featured high growth rates off of a large revenue base, rapidly expanding customer bases, and market leading valuations.
At the time of the reports' publication, CrowdStrike has the highest valuation of any of the cybersecurity companies included in the 2021 Technology Fast 500 winners.
"We're at a transformational time for cybersecurity, and not surprisingly, this year's Deloitte Fast 500 list featured cybersecurity category leaders showing exceptional growth," says George Kurtz, co-founder and chief executive officer of CrowdStrike.
"Few markets rely more on trust than cybersecurity and from the start, we've built a company centred on the notion that we will be judged by whether we can be trusted by customers, partners, employees, and investors, alike," he says.
"It's a testament to our team and their relentless focus on building this trust with our customers that CrowdStrike is at the head of the prestigious pack of category leading, public cybersecurity companies who are redefining the space."
The report also included publicly traded category leaders in cybersecurity, like Okta and Zscaler -- established players delivering significant growth at scale and valuations far above others in the report.
