Both ZS and CRWD stand to benefit from increased demand in the cybersecurity and cloud computing space, due to major ransomware attacks that made headlines during the pandemic. CRWD and ZS have both emerged as major players, winning large contracts and making large acquisitions. CRWD is more focused on security and threat mitigation, recently launching Falcon+, which is a global network of trained experts monitoring all aspects of the web and dark web for suspicious signs of nefarious activity that might threaten their clientele. For a less zealous approach, CRWD offers AI-based threat protection for individuals and companies. ZS, as its name implies, is slightly more focused on providing analytics to aid clients of their cloud-based solutions whose companies are scaling up their network. As they grow into the cloud, the analytic tools are designed to not only protect companies from security threats but also to make informed decisions about the effects of changes, such as an increasingly remote workforce.
