CrowdStrike and BT announced a partnership to launch BT Business Antivirus Detect and Respond, an AI‑native endpoint protection solution for UK SMBs, powered by CrowdStrike Falcon Go.

The partnership combines CrowdStrike’s lightweight, cloud‑native Falcon Go agent with BT’s 24/7 security expertise, enabling rapid deployment, real‑time ransomware prevention, and continuous threat detection for businesses that typically lack in‑house security teams.

The service will be offered through BT’s existing customer base and support network, providing a ready channel for the new offering and expanding CrowdStrike’s reach into the UK SMB market.

CrowdStrike’s Q3 FY2025 results showed revenue of $1.01 billion, up 29% year‑over‑year, and an adjusted EPS of $0.93, while the company reported a GAAP net loss of $16.8 million, a swing from a $26.7 million net income in the prior year’s Q3, attributed in part to costs related to a July 2025 software update incident.

The partnership positions CrowdStrike to accelerate adoption of its Falcon platform in a segment where only 11% of SMBs currently use AI‑powered defenses, according to the company’s State of SMB Cybersecurity Survey.

BT’s broader commitment to cybersecurity, including its participation in the CHERI Alliance, complements the partnership and strengthens its portfolio as a comprehensive service provider for businesses.
