Johanna Flower reposted thisJohanna Flower reposted thisThe exposure management category is consolidating onto the Falcon platform. Today CrowdStrike announced a definitive agreement to acquire the intellectual property of XM Cyber, a Schwarz Digits company, and to advance our partnership delivering the Falcon platform on the STACKIT sovereign cloud in Europe. European organizations shouldn't have to choose between security and digital sovereignty. They can have both. I see security teams moving away from point product stitching. As frontier AI expands the attack surface, exposure management belongs on the platform - next to endpoint, identity, AIDR and cloud. I look forward to welcoming XM Cyber’s customers to the Falcon platform. Thank you Gerd Chrzanowski and Christian Müller for your partnership and to the great teams on both sides that made this possible. 🙏 Press Release Here: https://lnkd.in/gGNg7tgi

Q1 proved it for CrowdStrike. 📈 Record Q1 net new ARR of $256M, up 32% year-over-year, exceeding the high end of our guidance 🔒 Ending ARR of $5.51B, accelerating year-over-year growth to 24%+ 💰 ALL-TIME record free cash flow of $468M, 34% of revenue, 59 on a rule of 40 ⚡ Record Q1 non-GAAP operating income of $326M, up 62% year-over-year 🚀 Falcon Flex approaching $2B in ending ARR, growing 99% year-over-year At our scale, acceleration is rare. The frontier labs chose CrowdStrike. Enterprise AI adoption turned that into structural demand. Think of CrowdStrike as the picks and shovels for the world's largest technology gold rush of all time. That's why we're raising full year net new ARR year-over-year growth guidance by 520 basis points at the midpoint. We now expect growth to accelerate over FY26. And today we announced a 4-for-1 stock split, our first as a public company, making CrowdStrike more accessible for investors to join our mission. To our customers and partners: thank you. To every CrowdStriker: your relentless execution made this quarter possible. I see the opportunity ahead is larger than anything in our past. 🙏 Our mission continues.

Johanna Flower liked thisJohanna Flower liked thisReal film. Real life. Hanging downtown Austin with the crew at end of quarter. When they crush it beyond just a crush. Feels a bit like Duo Security back in the ol’ days, and yet you know you are building something different, and you know it has to become its own thing to stand up on its own. Proud of the entire GTM org this quarter and all the friends of sales. Thank you. Today was a good day. Lfg. And then when your person quotes the office and says, ���I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them." This is true. And some of us have been lucky enough to live them, even for just a little bit. Cc 🚀 Alexander Gallego and Redpanda Data

Johanna Flower liked thisJohanna Flower liked thisGartner reinstated the Magic Quadrant for IT service management this year, after retiring it a few years ago as a category that had matured and converged. Analyst firms don't reopen closed categories for sentimental reasons. They reopen them when the ground under the category has moved enough that buyers can no longer make decisions using the old frame. AI is the loudest force behind that shift, but it's not the only one. The report also points to rightsizing spend and the strain of legacy ITSM models on how modern engineering organizations actually operate. Gartner projects that I&O organizations that fail to right-size their next ITSM purchase will overspend by more than 50% by 2029. Mid-market IT leaders have been telling us the same thing. Fragmented, overprovisioned platform stacks are already an expensive drag on productivity — before anyone adds AI to the picture. Freshworks was named a Leader in this first reinstated MQ. That's a real result for the team and for the customers who bet on Freshservice when the category still looked settled. The bigger story is what the return of the MQ tells you about where service operations is going. The evaluation was rebuilt around a different question. It used to measure how well a platform standardized service delivery. Now it measures whether the operational foundation underneath is coherent enough for AI to do useful work on top of it. Some of the mid-market IT leaders I talk to are learning the expensive way that AI on top of fragmented operations accelerates the fragmentation instead of fixing it. The ones getting real returns from AI spent the the time unifying their operational foundation before they scaled the model layer.
