In collaboration with its global partner ecosystem, Flex for Services extends CrowdStrike’s revolutionary Falcon Flex licensing model to its full portfolio of expert-led security services. From AI advisory to incident response, organizations can access the services they need, when they need them – powered by the Falcon® platform.\n\n\n“When a model works, the market follows. Falcon Flex is the blueprint for how modern organizations procure cybersecurity and how vendors now go to market,” said Tom Etheridge, chief global services officer at CrowdStrike. “Flex for Services extends that model to security services, shifting the consumption model from hours to outcomes. It brings Falcon into more environments and opens new opportunities for our service partners.

With a $1.69 billion ending ARR cohort of Flex account value in Q4 FY26,1 growing more than 120 percent year-over-year, Falcon Flex is the subscription model of choice for the agentic era.\n\n\nFlexible Services Consumption\n\n\nAs AI-driven threats accelerate and security teams face growing skills and cost pressures, traditional services models based on fixed engagements can’t keep pace.

Spanning threat hunting, red teaming, readiness assessments, AI advisory services, and incident response, organizations benefit from a flexible pool of service hours that can be applied as needs evolve, aligning services to real-time risk.\n\n\nZero Dollar Flex Fund\n\n\nFor a limited time, qualifying new services customers ca...
