Global cybersecurity company CrowdStrike has announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2022.

"CrowdStrike once again delivered an exceptional fourth quarter and capped off a record year, achieving new milestones across both the top and bottom line," says CrowdStrike co-founder and CEO, George Kurtz.

"Net new ARR of $217 million in the quarter was a new all-time high, driven by the expansion of our leadership in the core endpoint market as well as a record quarter for cloud, identity protection and Humio."

He says customers are increasingly leveraging the breadth and depth of the Falcon platform as they look to transform their security stack.

Burt Podbere, CrowdStrike's chief financial officer, says, "The robust top-line growth and exceptional leverage we generated this year demonstrates the efficiency in our model and enables us to step-up investments in new technologies and international geographies. Our durable platform model and powerful innovation engine have translated into a differentiated offering in the market and strong momentum heading into the fiscal year 2023."
