CrowdStrike said Wednesday it will cut 500 jobs, or 5% of its global workforce, according to The Wall Street Journal. The move aims to boost efficiency while continuing to hire in customer-facing and product-engineering roles.

CrowdStrike expects $36 million to $56 million in related charges, mainly in the current quarter.
