CrowdStrike: AI-driven cyber security for businesses
CrowdStrike is a leading cyber security company focused on protecting organisations from advanced cyber threats. The company was founded in 2011 and has since built a reputation as a trusted partner in the fight against cybercrime.
CrowdStrike’s Falcon® platform is an AI-native XDR (Extended Detection and Response) solution specifically designed to stop breaches. The platform uses a single, lightweight agent that collects and integrates data from multiple sources across the enterprise, including endpoints, cloud workloads, identities and external sources. By unifying this data and applying AI and automation, security teams can quickly respond to threats and achieve the speed needed to defeat modern attackers.
One of the unique aspects of CrowdStrike is their focus on the human factor behind each attack. By understanding the motivation, skills and tactics of attackers, CrowdStrike can predict and prevent future attacks. This adversary-centric model enables organisations to always stay one step ahead of attackers, even when using the most advanced techniques.
With CrowdStrike, CIOs can be confident that their organisations are protected against a wide range of cyber threats, thanks to the advanced technologies and deep insights provided by the platform. The platform is designed to grow with organisational needs, making it a scalable and flexible solution for modern IT environment data centres.
Endpoint Protection with CrowdStrike Falcon® EDR
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is a robust cybersecurity solution designed to monitor, detect and respond to threats on endpoint devices, such as laptops, smartphones and servers. EDR provides advanced threat detection, real-time monitoring and automated responses, making it a proactive defence mechanism suitable for organisations of all sizes. By leveraging CrowdStrike’s advanced technologies such as machine learning and behavioural analysis, EDR helps organisations quickly detect, isolate and mitigate threats before they can cause significant damage.
Identity Protection with CrowdStrike
Identity protection is a comprehensive solution that protects all types of identities within the enterprise – human or machine, on-premises or hybrid, regular or privileged – to detect and prevent identity-driven breaches. By implementing an identity security solution based on CrowdStrike, organisations can improve security posture, enhance compliance and governance, increase productivity and efficiency, and improve user experience and satisfaction.
Cloud protection with CrowdStrike
Cloud security is critical for CIOs as it provides the basis for a secure and resilient IT infrastructure at a time when cloud computing is increasingly becoming the norm. Here are some reasons why cloud security is essential:
- Protection against cyber threats: The cloud offers a broad attack surface for cyber criminals. By implementing robust cloud security measures, organisations can defend themselves against a wide range of cyber threats, including malware, ransomware and phishing attacks.
- Regulatory compliance: Many industries have strict regulations and compliance requirements regarding data protection. Cloud security helps organisations meet these requirements by ensuring that sensitive data is stored and processed securely.
- Protecting sensitive data: In a hybrid cloud environment, data is often spread across different locations and systems. Cloud security ensures that sensitive data, such as customer information and trade secrets, is well protected from unauthorised access and data breaches.
- Business continuity: A security incident in the cloud can lead to significant disruptions to business operations. By implementing cloud security, organisations can ensure business continuity and recover quickly from any incidents.
- Cost savings: Although implementing cloud security involves initial expenses, it will save costs in the long run by preventing costly data breaches and security incidents. Moreover, automated security solutions can improve operational efficiency.
- Customer and partner trust: Strong cloud security measures help gain and maintain customer and partner trust. This is particularly important in sectors where data security is crucial, such as financial services and healthcare.
By investing in cloud security, CIOs can ensure that their organisations are well prepared for the challenges of the modern digital world and maintain a secure and resilient IT infrastructure.
