Falcon Flex commitment enables service providers to bring the Falcon platform and Falcon IQ security assessments to SMB and mid-market customers

AUSTIN, Texas & BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 2, 2026-- Fal.Con Europe 2026 -- CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced that Ignition Technology has made a multi-million-dollar Falcon Flex commitment in Q1 FY27 to expand access to AI-native cybersecurity for SMB and mid-market customers across Europe.

Working with more than 1,000 partners across Europe, Ignition Technology is expanding access to the Falcon platform through its managed service provider (MSP) and managed security service provider (MSSP) ecosystem. The commitment builds on Ignition Technology's recognition as CrowdStrike's Global Technical Champion of the Year at Fal.Con 2026 in Las Vegas.

As a member of Project QuiltWorks, Ignition Technology is also making Falcon IQ available to its ecosystem of partners, enabling them to assess customer security vulnerability exposures and prioritize risks using frontier AI. The offering is expected to support assessments across thousands of devices managed through Ignition Technology's service provider program.

"Bringing enterprise-grade cybersecurity to businesses of every size requires partners who can deliver at scale," said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. "Ignition Technology is investing in CrowdStrike to expand our reach across Europe's SMB market. This is how we scale the Falcon platform: through partners building their businesses on CrowdStrike."

“Service providers are central to how SMBs buy and consume cybersecurity,” said Paul Eccleston, Chief Business Innovation Officer at Exclusive Networks Group. “With Falcon Flex and Falcon IQ, we’re giving our partners the flexibility to grow their CrowdStrike businesses while helping customers identify and address security risks. This commitment will enable them to reach more customers and deliver greater value.”
