What You'll Need:

• Current enrollment in a 4-year University working towards a BA or BS degree in Intelligence Studies, Security Studies, International Relations, Cybersecurity, Regional Studies, or a related field
• Graduating in 2029 or 2030.

About Us

CrowdStrike was founded in 2011 to fix a fundamental problem: The sophisticated attacks that were forcing the world’s leading businesses into the headlines could not be solved with existing malware-based defenses. Founder George Kurtz realized that a brand new approach was needed — one that combines the most advanced endpoint protection with expert intelligence to pinpoint the adversaries perpetrating the attacks, not just the malware.
