Frost & Sullivan also praised CrowdStrike’s ability to correlate cloud events with endpoint and identity telemetry within the Falcon platform. This cross-domain approach, enriched with threat intelligence and 24/7 managed threat hunting, enables security teams to understand the full adversary attack path. Combined, these capabilities “help provide end-to-end visibility and protection across all layers,” Frost & Sullivan states. CrowdStrike’s adversary-based threat intelligence powers advanced behavior analytics and AI/ML to build a vast repository of indicators of attack, which detect and stop advanced threats including malware-free attacks.
“Combined with AI-driven anomaly detection, trained on an abundance of data from in-house threat intelligence and customer environments, its CDR helps identify subtle signs of attacker behavior early,” Frost & Sullivan says of CrowdStrike.
At the heart of our solution is the Falcon sensor, delivering unparalleled visibility across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. This visibility is amplified by our extensive threat intelligence network, which tracks 255+ adversaries and publishes an average of 16.5 million indicators of compromise weekly. When combined with integration across our endpoint security, threat intelligence, and managed detection and response (MDR) offerings, Falcon Cloud Security: Cloud Runtime Protection provides organizations with a unified defense against cross-domain threats.
“By using the same agent for the entire platform, Falcon Cloud Security can protect servers and monitor container runtime behavior and cloud workload activity, providing high-fidelity data from inside the OS,” Frost & Sullivan says. “This unified agent approach, combined with agentless scanning for cloud configs, enables real-time response actions across both hybrid cloud environments and the multiple layers of the cloud stack.”
Cloud Runtime Protection Built for the Future
CrowdStrike’s leadership is built on a foundation of proven security excellence and our unwavering mission to stop breaches. By drawing from real-world attack scenarios and maintaining a cross-domain, adversary-focused approach, we’ve developed runtime protection capabilities that address the sophisticated tactics of today’s threat actors.
Frost & Sullivan describes CrowdStrike as “highly rated and positioned” for our “long term vision, solution stability, scalability and clear roadmap.” This showcases our position as a trusted long-term partner in cloud runtime protection, with the vision and capabilities to continuously advance CDR technologies as threats evolve.
With our unified platform approach, extensive threat intelligence, and proven track record of stopping breaches, CrowdStrike continues to set the standard, helping organizations confidently secure their cloud environments against today’s most sophisticated threats.
