Symantec Endpoint Protection? It's like bringing a butter kn--e to a cyber gunfight. Companies are ditching it faster than outdated hardware.

Because customer CISOs want to migrate to Crowdstrike Falcon. It's has better brand value and probably a better product as well.

Also, Crowdstrike is probably wooing them with discounts to migrate off of SEP.
