Cybersecurity

GEORGE Kurtz has two big passions.

One is catching cybercriminals and the other is competitive car racing. What's highly notable is that he's equally fervent about both and right near the top in terms of achievements in these very demanding fields.

As the co-founder, president and CEO of one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity companies in the world, CrowdStrike, he is pioneering a new way of providing cybersecurity to companies. And, as a race driver in the GT World Challenge America circuit, he has won a number of races since starting to drive competitively around 10 years ago.
