CrowdStrike Daily Trading Volume Plummets 21.53 to $920M Ranking 100th as Cybersecurity Alliance Expands with Zscaler and Red Canary

On August 20, 2025, CrowdStrike (CRWD) closed with a 0.14% gain, while its daily trading volume dropped to $0.92 billion, a 21.53% decline from the previous day, ranking it 100th in market activity. The stock’s muted performance coincided with an expanded partnership announcement between Zscaler, Red Canary, and CrowdStrike to enhance cybersecurity solutions. The collaboration integrates CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform with Zscaler’s Zero Trust Exchange and Red Canary’s AI-driven security operations, creating a unified architecture to replace legacy endpoint detection systems. This move aims to streamline customer transitions to cloud-native security while improving threat detection accuracy and response times through layered automation.

CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform will serve as a core component of the joint offering, providing real-time threat intelligence and AI-powered remediation. Red Canary’s managed detection and response (MDR) services will leverage Falcon’s endpoint data alongside Zscaler’s user context to deliver faster incident resolution. The partnership emphasizes reducing operational complexity by consolidating fragmented security tools into a single ecosystem. Daniel Bernard, CrowdStrike’s Chief Business Officer, highlighted the shift toward platform-based security, stating the collaboration enables “standardized architectures” and “elite protection” for enterprises navigating digital transformation.
