CrowdStrike

CrowdStrike (Nasdaq: CRWD), a global cybersecurity leader, has redefined modern security with the world’s most advanced cloud-native platform for protecting critical areas of enterprise risk — endpoints and cloud workloads, identity and data.

Powered by the CrowdStrike Security Cloud and world-class AI, the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform leverages real-time indicators of attack, threat intelligence, evolving adversary tradecraft and enriched telemetry from across the enterprise to deliver hyper-accurate detections, automated protection and remediation, elite threat hunting and prioritized observability of vulnerabilities.

Purpose-built in the cloud with a single lightweight-agent architecture, the Falcon platform delivers rapid and scalable deployment, superior protection and performance, reduced complexity and immediate time-to-value.

Why CrowdStrike?

In the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity, modern adversaries have significantly transformed their tactics within the past year, necessitating a fresh approach to safeguarding enterprises. As the process of digital transformation continues to gain momentum, attackers have shifted their focus towards exploiting vulnerable cloud workloads. Despite the advancements made in cybersecurity measures, the theft of legitimate credentials remains a highly effective method for unauthorized access. In fact, the utilization of compromised identities or stolen credentials has witnessed a substantial 112% year-on-year growth, with three out of five attacks incorporating them as part of their campaign. Moreover, attackers have become increasingly proficient, as evidenced by the average breakout time decreasing to a mere 84 minutes, with one-third of all attacks occurring in less than 30 minutes.

To solve these issues, CrowdStrike has introduced the new pillars of modern security:

Protecting workloads (extended across traditional endpoints to cloud workloads and beyond) to stop active attacks holistically across the enterprise
Protecting Identities to safeguard valid user credentials and prevent the theft and abuse of identities, which can be used to walk in the front door of an enterprise and protecting data, not by replicating the mistakes of traditional DLP, but by stopping adversaries from compromising critical systems and data with superior prevention, rapid threat hunting and investigations, and swift response to shutdown attacks before data can be stolen.

CrowdStrike has been also receiving high appraisal that distinguished their solutions:
