CrowdStrike and McAfee provide very similar services. However, the two companies have different histories. McAfee was one of the first creators of commercial antivirus systems and this distinction has formed a signature for the company ever since. CrowdStrike first came to the public’s attention as a cybersecurity research service that was hired by organizations to investigate data breaches and recommend remediation strategies. The two companies now offer a similar range of products and in the case of endpoint protection, the solution of both crowdStrike and McAfee relies on multi-level threat hunting with strong device-based agents for local threat hunting, data gathering, and response implementation plus centralized threat hunting and a threat intelligence feed.
