Crowdstrike

This threat intelligence company was founded in 2011 and was a huge innovation compared to the cumbersome IT security approach typical of its time. It has great protection capabilities despite being relatively new. In a few short years, its Falcon platform won awards for its approach to endpoint security software. The CrowdStrike Falcon platform is a cloud-based security solution that allows clients to avoid hardware and maintenance costs while preventing attacks from cyber criminals hacking into the protection technology, which can happen with traditional on-premise antivirus solutions. This is a great way to provide protection against suspicious activity.

CrowdStrike takes a pick-and-choose approach to its security offerings and all the prevention technologies. This gives you the option to choose the products you need to support your business. For instance, if your engineers use containers as part of their software development process, you can pick a CrowdStrike Falcon module offering visibility into container usage. CrowdStrike’s protection technology possesses many compelling traits to protect against malware, suspicious activity, and offers a quick endpoint detection and response.

Today’s sophisticated attackers are going “beyond malware” to breach organizations, increasingly relying on exploits, zero days, and hard-to-detect methods such as credential theft and tools that are already part of the victim’s environment or operating system, such as PowerShell. CrowdStrike Falcon responds to those challenges with a powerful yet lightweight solution that unifies next-generation antivirus, endpoint detection and response, cyber threat intelligence, managed threat hunting capabilities, and security hygiene — all contained in a tiny, single, lightweight sensor that is cloud-managed and delivered.
