More than 5x increase in customers in 2 years

2017: 450
2019: 2,516

Dollar-based net retention rate is accelerating

2017: 104%
2019: 147%

The company is expanding the number of endpoints and cross-selling within its 10 cloud modules.

FICO appealed the trademark Crowdstrike Falcon because it has a FICO Falcon offering.

*This is likely why the expansion rate has accelerated. Smaller upfront purchases, move to a land/expand.

Three drivers of revenue
1) Subscription customers
2) # of endpoints
3) # of cloud modules adopted
