CrowdStrike Delivers the Next Generation of SIEM to Power the AI-Native SOC

May 8, 2024 by Sujata 0 Comments #AI-Native SOC, #CrowdStrike, #George Kurtz, #SIEM

BENGALURU, India – May 08, 2024. CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced new CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM innovations to liberate customers from the constraints of legacy SIEM products and power the AI-Native SOC. To accelerate SOC transformation, all Falcon Insight customers will receive 10 gigabytes of third-party data ingest per day at no additional cost to experience the speed and performance of Falcon Next-Gen SIEM.

George Kurtz, CrowdStrike

With breakout times now measured in minutes, stopping breaches requires security operations to match the speed of the adversary. Legacy SIEMs are too slow and complex to deliver the security outcomes customers require. SIEMs have become data dumping grounds, forcing security analysts to navigate multiple data sources, tools and consoles to extract meaning from data and conduct investigations. At the same time, point products positioned as SIEM alternatives struggle with slow search speeds, limited data visualization and investigation options, and a data onboarding process that requires lengthy deployments while driving up overall costs. To give security teams the speed they need to stop breaches, the modern SOC requires a platform that converges data, security and IT, with AI and workflow automation built natively within. With this release, CrowdStrike sets the standard for the next generation of SIEM, engineered to power the AI-native SOC.

“The speed of today’s cyberattacks requires security teams to rapidly analyze massive amounts of data to detect, investigate and respond to threats faster. This is the failed promise of SIEM. Customers are hungry for better technology that delivers instant time-to-value and increased functionality at a lower total cost of ownership,” said George Kurtz, CEO and co-founder, CrowdStrike. “The vast majority of the critical security data is already resident in the Falcon platform, saving the time and cost of data transfer to a legacy SIEM. Our single-agent, single platform architecture unifies native and third-party data with AI and workflow automation to deliver on the promise of the AI-native SOC.”

The AI-Native SOC: Full Visibility. Faster Detection and Response.
Falcon Next-Gen SIEM is the industry’s answer to power the AI-Native SOC, delivering up to 150x faster search performance and an 80% lower total cost of ownership than legacy SIEMs and solutions positioned as SIEM alternatives. New and expanded innovations in the latest Falcon Next-Gen SIEM release include:

BENGALURU, India – May 07, 2024. CrowdStrike (Nasdaq: CRWD) today announced the general availability of CrowdStrike Falcon® Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) as an integrated part of CrowdStrike Falcon® Cloud Security. With this release, CrowdStrike delivers on its bold vision to simplify and scale modern cloud security through a single, unified platform so Cloud SecOps can operate with the speed and agility of DevOps.

Karan Gupta

Cloud intrusions have surged by 75% over the past year, increasing the pressure on SecOps teams that are already grappling with a shortage of skilled personnel and the inefficiency of numerous disjointed tools. With the native integration of ASPM into Falcon Cloud Security, CrowdStrike is driving consolidation across SecOps with a unified platform that enhances risk visibility and protection across the entire cloud estate, from infrastructure to applications and the services running inside of them, enforcing comprehensive, code-to-runtime security. With this release, CrowdStrike is advancing the market and setting a new standard for what customers can expect from a comprehensive CNAPP.

“The complexity of cloud environments and rapid pace of changes creates misconfigurations and vulnerabilities that adversaries increasingly exploit. Disjointed point products and fragmented platforms create gaps in security defenses that can lead to a breach,” said Karan Gupta, head of engineering, CrowdStrike. “With the integration of Falcon ASPM with Falcon Cloud Security, we’re providing one platform that provides comprehensive risk visibility and workload protection across the entire cloud estate. This revolutionizes CNAPP with integrated ASPM and provides organizations with a blueprint that bridges the gap between their security and development teams.”

The Strategic Leader in Cloud Security Sets a New Standard
CrowdStrike unifies the critical CNAPP capabilities that define modern cloud security in a single, cloud-native platform, delivering the deep visibility, integration into DevOps workflows and rapid incident response capabilities teams need to manage and respond to incidents and secure complex cloud infrastructure and applications with priority and context.

Validated as a market leader by multiple industry analyst firms, CrowdStrike extends its strategic leadership and sets a new standard for modern cloud security with unified CNAPP capabilities from a single agent and single platform that delivers:

· Business Threat Context: SecOps teams can immediately understand and prioritize the high-risk threats and vulnerabilities that target sensitive data and the mission-critical applications that are the foundation of an organization.

· Deep Runtime Visibility: With comprehensive monitoring across runtime environments, security teams can rapidly identify the security vulnerabilities across cloud infrastructure, workloads, applications, APIs, GenAI and data to eliminate security gaps and stop breaches.

CrowdStrike Expands Cloud Detection and Response Leadership to Stop Cloud Breaches

May 7, 2024 by Sujata 0 Comments #Cloud Detection, #CrowdStrike, #Michael Sentonas, #preventable and should never have occurred

BENGALURU, India – May 07, 2024. CrowdStrike today announced new Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) innovations to unify industry-leading managed threat hunting with deep visibility across cloud, identity and endpoints to speed detection and response across every stage of a cloud attack. Beginning with Microsoft Azure, new CDR innovations expand visibility into cloud control plane activity, strengthening existing threat hunting for cloud runtime environments.

With cloud intrusions growing 75% in the past year, cloud is the new battleground as adversaries increasingly leverage identity-based attacks to exploit visibility gaps created by fragmented platforms and cloud security point products. At the same time, Cloud SecOps teams face an emerging skills gap in cloud security expertise that can significantly delay detection and response times to threats. With this release, the powerful combination of CrowdStrike’s proven expertise in 24/7 managed threat hunting and its industry-defining Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) sets a new standard for CDR by delivering the visibility across and within clouds, identities and endpoints needed to stop cloud breaches, even as threats move laterally from cloud to endpoint.

Michael Sentonas

“CrowdStrike pioneered EDR, we established MDR before it was a category and now we’re setting the standard for what CDR delivers and can do for customers. Stopping cloud breaches requires rapid detection and response, but too often, Cloud SecOps teams are forced to manage multiple platforms and point products to get the visibility they need across their cloud infrastructure,” said Michael Sentonas, president at CrowdStrike. “The combination of CrowdStrike’s industry-leading cloud threat hunting services and comprehensive CNAPP provides a powerful force multiplier for Cloud SecOps teams to consolidate tools, close gaps in visibility and deliver the security outcome that matters most – stopping the breach.”

Stopping Identity-Based Attacks in the Cloud
As noted in the DHS Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB), the Summer 2023 breach of Microsoft Exchange Online was “preventable and should never have occurred.” Adversaries commonly use identity-based attacks to breach customer cloud environments, and the security lapse noted in the CSRB report highlights the critical need to proactively detect and respond to cloud attacks, especially for Microsoft Azure environments.

With this release, CrowdStrike delivers the world’s most comprehensive cloud detection and response service by:

· Protecting Cloud Control Planes: Beginning with Microsoft Azure, CrowdStrike expands visibility into cloud control plane activity, complimenting existing threat hunting for cloud runtime environments.

· Stopping Cloud Identity Threats: CrowdStrike’s unified platform approach enables cloud threat hunters to proactively monitor and prevent compromised users and credentials from being exploited in cloud attacks.

· Preventing Adversary Lateral Movement: The unified AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon platform empowers CrowdStrike cloud threat hunters to track lateral movement from cloud to endpoint, enabling rapid response and actionable insights for decisive remediation from indicators to root cause.
