US prosecutors have closed an investigation into CrowdStrike Holdings Inc.'s distributor dealings without pursuing charges, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The Justice Department's decision marks the end of scrutiny into the cybersecurity firm's business arrangements. CrowdStrike, a major player in endpoint protection and threat intelligence, had faced review regarding its distribution practices. Details of the specific concerns under investigation remain limited. The closure suggests prosecutors found insufficient evidence to warrant legal action or determined the conduct fell outside prosecutorial priorities. The development comes as CrowdStrike maintains its position as one of the largest independent cybersecurity companies serving enterprises and government agencies. The company has faced previous regulatory attention but continues operating its core business without restrictions. No further action is expected from the Justice Department regarding these particular deals, according to the sources.
