Falcon Go is the cheapest way we found to put a well-known commercial antivirus agent on a Linux machine with a published price. CrowdStrike lists it at $59.99 per device billed annually, or $7.99 per device billed monthly, and you can add it to a cart without a sales call. The bundle covers next-gen antivirus against malware and ransomware, device control for USB and SD cards, and mobile protection for Android and iOS, plus Express Support for setup questions. CrowdStrike says the Falcon platform supports Windows, macOS and Linux, so a small office can manage an Ubuntu workstation from the same console as its laptops. The 15-day trial includes Falcon Prevent and device control. The limits are scope and fit. Endpoint detection and response, threat hunting and firewall management sit in Falcon Pro and above, and the service is aimed at businesses, so a single home user pays for management features they may not use.
