Summary

CrowdStrike, a global cybersecurity leader, has played a pivotal role in numerous high-profile cyber investigations, notably the Democratic National Committee (DNC) hack in 2016. Hired by the DNC to address a suspected breach, CrowdStrike's analysis identified two Russian intelligence-affiliated groups, COZY BEAR and FANCY BEAR, as the perpetrators, supported by U.S. Intelligence and independent reports. Despite not witnessing data exfiltration in real-time, CrowdStrike found indicators and circumstantial evidence of exfiltration, which was corroborated by other security firms and government reports. Their work, conducted through a standard process called "imaging," involved providing forensic evidence to the FBI. CrowdStrike maintains its non-partisan stance and continues to be a trusted partner in cybersecurity, protecting both political and non-political entities worldwide. Their findings and methodologies have been consistently supported by the intelligence community and debunked conspiracy theories about their role in the investigation.
