AI-powered malware and ransomware protection

Falcon's next-generation antivirus uses AI to detect and block known and unknown threats, including ransomware and sophisticated attacks. The lightweight agent deploys in minutes and provides immediate endpoint protection without requiring signature updates.

Business outcome: Reduces the risk of costly malware infections and ransomware downtime across the organization.

Continuous endpoint monitoring and threat hunting

Endpoint Detection and Response capabilities provide real-time visibility into endpoint activity. Security teams can investigate incidents, hunt for threats, and respond to breaches with detailed forensic data.

Business outcome: Enables faster incident response and reduces the time to detect and contain breaches.

Identity protection against credential-based attacks

Falcon Identity Protection monitors for suspicious activity across Active Directory and cloud identity providers. It detects and prevents attacks that use compromised credentials to move laterally through the network.

Business outcome: Protects against account takeover and reduces the blast radius of credential-based breaches.

Workload protection for cloud environments

The platform extends protection to cloud workloads, providing visibility and threat detection across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. This helps security teams secure their cloud infrastructure without deploying separate agents.

Business outcome: Secures cloud deployments and simplifies security operations for hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Frontline threat intelligence for proactive defense

Falcon leverages CrowdStrike's global threat intelligence to provide context on adversaries and attack campaigns. This enables security teams to prioritize threats based on real-world risk and proactively harden their defenses.

Business outcome: Improves security posture by focusing resources on the most relevant and active threats.

Unified data analytics for faster investigations

The Next-Gen SIEM module aggregates security data from across the organization into a single data lake. This provides security analysts with fast search and correlation capabilities to accelerate investigations.

Business outcome: Speeds up threat detection and investigation by eliminating data silos and providing a single source of truth.
