"The DNC asked us to go public with it, so we put out a blog post on it," Mr Kurtz told me recently. I did that role for a number of years before the business was sold to Intel and by then, I had a much greater appreciation of the limitations of the traditional antivirus and signature updates model.". Given charge of developing protocols for Internet security, Mr Kurtz says he developed much of it on his own.

Rapid in speech, and not unafraid to criticise a rival, he says he wanted to be rid of the "on-premise Siebel experience" and wanted CrowdStrike to be more like cloud-computing firm Salesforce, a firm founded in 1999 that today commands a market value of US$65 billion (S$88 billion).
