Cybersecurity industry trends, such as cloud security and artificial intelligence integration, are pivotal as businesses continually adapt to a changing landscape.

Meanwhile, security is in a transformative stage with the addition of new tools and vendors, fueled by organic and existing company innovation. CrowdStrike is fortunate to be at the nexus of both, according to Daniel Bernard (pictured), chief business officer of CrowdStrike Inc.

CrowdStrike’s Daniel Bernard speaks to theCUBE about cybersecurity industry trends.

“We have our own organic innovation where we’re shipping new products … we are also acquiring companies,” Bernard said. “Consolidation is coming from a lot of places, cost, pressure, but also it’s really complicated to manage 70 different products.”

Bernard spoke with theCUBE Research’s Dave Vellante at the RSA Conference, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed cybersecurity industry trends and how consolidation in the cybersecurity industry is essential for reducing cost pressure and complexity. (* Disclosure below.)

CrowdStrike’s open platform approach allows for consolidation of best-of-breed capabilities from different vendors, making the company unique in the market, Bernard explained.

“I mean, security is not a winner-takes-all market. We like, though, when IDC says that we have the number one share, but we have a great partnership with Zscaler where we know our areas of competence, they know theirs,” he said. “We’re here to secure device data and cloud identity, and they do a fantastic job securing the network, making sure that as that device connects to the web, everything is secure.”

CrowdStrike’s technology allows analysts to quickly and easily access and analyze data to identify and respond to cyber threats, ultimately saving time and increasing efficiency. Threat hunting requires a uniform and ubiquitous language in cybersecurity skill sets, according to Bernard.

“You can have ChatGPT do art for you and write emails for you. Imagine if you can do that with threat hunting where you may not know our language,” he said. “Our language is pretty uniform and ubiquitous at this point. You can look at a lot of job wrecks for cybersecurity. The requested skill set is CrowdStrike experience. So, it’s a great spot to be in the market.”
