CrowdStrike Partners with Autodesk to Bring Enterprise-Grade Security to Small Businesses

WHAT HAPPENED

CrowdStrike and Autodesk announced a partnership to bring enterprise-grade security to small businesses. Autodesk revealed the partnership at its AU2026 conference as part of a broader set of updates to Autodesk for Small Business, which also included new support features, flexible pricing options, and simplified login methods.

WHO IS INVOLVED

CrowdStrike and Autodesk are the two companies behind the partnership. Autodesk serves small businesses in design and manufacturing, while CrowdStrike provides endpoint and identity protection services through its Falcon Platform.

HOW IT WORKS

The partnership integrates CrowdStrike's enterprise-grade endpoint and identity protections into Autodesk's platforms already used by small business teams. This integration makes security adoption simpler by embedding protection into tools the users already work with, reducing the operational burden of implementing separate security solutions.

WHY IT MATTERS

Small businesses in design and manufacturing face the same cyber threats as large enterprises but typically operate with far fewer dedicated security resources and smaller budgets. By making enterprise-level protection more affordable and easier to deploy within existing workflows, the partnership helps smaller organizations access security controls that were previously impractical for them to implement independently.
