An interesting promotion landed in my mailbox this afternoon.

Falcon Go is a cybersecurity product offering from CrowdStrike designed for small to medium businesses (SMBs).

Included is their "next-generation" anti-virus, device control (USB device control), cloud-based management, and optional mobile device endpoint protection.

Looks like a decent (free for 1-year 😎) solution for small businesses looking for an entry-level endpoint security suite.

Datasheet: https://assets.crowdstrike.com/is/content/crowdstrikeinc/crowdstrike-falcon-go-data-sheetpdf

Be sure to DYOR to determine suitability for your environment and compliance requirements. Since the promotion is limited to the first 11 000 devices, please don’t go overboard — register only for the number of devices you actually need so other small businesses can benefit too. 😊

A message to business owners/executives: This is an entry-level product. If you already have existing cybersecurity measures in place, especially as part of a managed service provider (MSP) arrangement, please do not feel the need to replace your existing setup purely for this free “deal.” Always consult your IT provider first before making any changes to your current security stack.

This offer is exclusively offered to NAB Small & Medium Business (SMB) customers with a Business Transaction Account who take up the offer before 31 March 2026 and do not already have a CrowdStrike account.

This offer is for twelve months’ free access to CrowdStrike Falcon® Go security software, with a maximum of 150 free licences per business customer. Offer is limited to the first 11,000 devices registered by eligible NAB Group customers. This offer cannot be transferred to another CrowdStrike product.

Should you choose to continue with CrowdStrike’s products after the initial 12-month free promotional offer period has ended, as a NAB SMB Customer you will receive a 15% discount on CrowdStrike’s Falcon® Go product for an additional 12 months.

NAB and CrowdStrike have an arrangement in place whereby NAB receives a share of the revenue generated where a NAB customer takes up the CrowdStrike offer for the first twelve months after the promotional offer.

    Disclaimer:

    I’m just sharing this deal — I’m not affiliated with NAB or CrowdStrike, and I take no responsibility if you forget to cancel your auto-renewal after the free 12-month period. Make sure to set yourself a reminder if you don’t plan to continue after the trial ends ✌️

      I assume you also take no responsibility when CrowdStrike bricks your computer? :D

        Hey I'm not the one pushing those untested kernel driver updates! :D

          But you are pushing a promotion from a company who should have their gonads cut up and fried.

          Crowdstrike are not a reputable security company full stop after it was revealed how awful their basic procedures were.

          Things even an entry level IT person knows.
          1. Never release untested kernel level code to production computers (code should be FULLY tested).
          2. Never release update to all production computers at once. Stagger the update
          3. Have suitable code within the software that catches unexpected failures in an orderly and fail safe fashion.

          Things a company should NOT do.
          1. Let a 3rd party company have unfettered kernel level control to their mission critical computer systems.

          Luckily the brain dead people at Microsoft realized they not longer should allow 3rd party software to operate at the kernel level like this. This point alone is why Apple computers running MacOS were not affected.

            @bigmudcake: Every entry level IT person I know does not know any of those.

            • bigmudcake on 08/10/2025 - 18:17

              @Ozzster: I should qualify - Entry level IT security

              • Ozzster on 08/10/2025 - 18:19

                @bigmudcake: Entry level IT security I know do nothing with code, and touch kernel only indirectly.

                • bigmudcake on 08/10/2025 - 18:21

                  @Ozzster: OK I qualify further - Entry level IT security software engineer

                  Even entry level IT personnel would know not to push out updates at all computers when they are most likely being used and needed in case something goes wrong. They would have been taught some risk management in the qualifications.

                  • Ozzster on 08/10/2025 - 18:28

                    @bigmudcake: Entry level IT security software engineer I know does nothing with production code. There are release managers and seniors for merging feature branches.

                      @Ozzster: Doesn't mean they don't understand those concepts. Its basic 101 software risk management

          • lexical on 08/10/2025 - 23:43

            @bigmudcake: Hello, I understand your frustration. I’m well aware of the rather stupendous circumstances surrounding that incident. That said, a deal is a deal, and this is OzBargain, not a cybersecurity forum, so I shared it purely because it may still benefit some small businesses looking for free endpoint protection.

            CrowdStrike remains a market leader in the EDR space, and I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that they’ve learned from that event. I’ve also mentioned in the post to DYOR and decide whether it suits your specific use case before proceeding.

            That said, I’d genuinely be interested to see what Microsoft comes up with as an alternative to Kernel mode access.

            • bigmudcake on 09/10/2025 - 06:12

              @lexical: Issue is, its like if a Doctor botched up a surgery because they didnt follow basic protocols. If they offered free surgery for 1 year does that make it a bargain, would you risk giving them the benefit of the doubt. Or if Optus were offering free medi-alert emergency devices for 1 year to the elderly, would that be a bargain. Particularly if those issues were not mentioned in your text promoting it.

              The Crowdstrike fiasco was based on the very basic protocols not being followed. They should not have the trust or respect of SMB companies having access to their critical systems. Otherwise we are just setting ourselves up for the same big fail.

              Also funnily and weirdly coincidentally, Apple has just released a youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K4eUO53-UE about the incident and the last point re kernel level access I made in previous post. Very cringe-worthy though.

    They really should've got a new name after that big (profanity) last year… the name is now synonymous with downtime.

  • 3DL3 on 08/10/2025 - 18:00

    They are still considered leaders in the market. Ruling them out for the incident might be mistake.

    • Ozzster on 08/10/2025 - 18:17

      Not once market leader companies collapsed after such fails.

  • kahn on 08/10/2025 - 18:49

    People also seem to be forgetting that Crowdstrike were used to "investigate" the DNC servers instead of the FBI in order to create a Russian hacking conspiracy theory. The IT community seem to ignore this probably because it was done at the behest of their preferred political party. This predates the issues discussed above.

    • Ozzster on 08/10/2025 - 19:17

      Don't confuse instead and in addition and you'll have fewer conspiracy theories.

      • kahn on 08/10/2025 - 19:26

        The FBI received a dodgy cloned server instead of the original. Edit: to avoid confusion - cloned server data.

        • Ozzster on 08/10/2025 - 19:53

          And what? There are two options, without starting a 100-paged conversation: 1) It was legal and they are allowed to do so, 2) It was not legal and someone got felony.
          Something tells me that we would all know if it was option 2.

            @Ozzster: Maybe you're focusing on the wrong issue. The intention of my first comment was to inform/remind people of Crowdstrike's role in the Russian hacking of the DNC server hoax. They are a dishonest organisation, just like the DNC.

            • Ozzster on 08/10/2025 - 20:15

              @kahn: They played no role in there, otherwise would end up in jail. It is well-investigated long ago and there is no room for conspiracy theories. Conspiracy theories work against those who make them up.

                @Ozzster: Crowdrstrike lied about Russians hacking the DNC server. They were paid to do so. When the CEO was made to testify some years later, he admitted that they had no proof of the initial claims.

                I don't believe in the Russian hacking conspiracy theory. Do you?

                • Ozzster on 08/10/2025 - 20:56

                  @kahn: I will believe the evidence that you surely have, otherwise it sounds like a global conspiracy of everyone against you.

                  • kahn on 08/10/2025 - 21:35

                    @Ozzster: My friend, you might want to look up the definition of conspiracy. It implies a criminal element.

                    You can look up the transcript of the interview via a search engine of your choice if you are actually interested.

                    • Ozzster on 08/10/2025 - 23:25

                      @kahn: Thank you for the evidence, I don't buy it. Now its clear why the IT community seem to ignore this, I'm joining them.

                      • kahn on 08/10/2025 - 23:46

                        @Ozzster: Which part of the interview didn't you believe? And what bearing does the IT community have? Is Bill Binney considered to be part of the IT community?

                        • Ozzster on 08/10/2025 - 23:52

                          @kahn: If you trust the guy saying about own lie it's a question to you why would you trust this his word instead of that. But to his interview I have no questions, my previous point about allowed or felony just confirmed itself by the lack of felony. I'm not interested in this topic any longer, thank you.

                          • kahn on 09/10/2025 - 00:31

                            @Ozzster: Creating propaganda is not a felony. I am not accusing Crowdstrike of breaking a law. That was a straw-man argument that you created. If you want to know which part of this saga was definitely a felony, look into the death of Seth Rich.

                            I mentioned Bill Binney because he revealed, amongst other things, that the data speed of the "hack" matched the speed of a USB data transfer, much faster than was possible via the internet.
