What is CrowdStrike ?

 CrowdStrike is a SaaS (software as a service) solution that leverages advanced EDR (endpoint detection and response) applications and techniques to provide an industry-leading NGAV (next generation anti-virus) offering powered by machine learning to ensure breaches are stopped before they occur.

CrowdStrike has revolution- ized endpoint protection by being the first and only company to unify next- generation antivirus, endpoint detection and response (EDR),and a 24/7 managed hunting service — all delivered via a single lightweight agent.

CrowdStrike is very convenient in large scale environments, the product is very agile, scalable and reliable; they even have a 24/7 team constantly aware of your environment in case something got through; the product is so good that they never needed to call.

With Falcon Firewall Management^TM, CrowdStrike delivers simple, centralized host firewall management to help customers transition from legacy endpoint suites to CrowdStrike's next-generation solution, providing comprehensive protection, improved performance and efficiency in managing and enforcing host firewall

What data is sent to the CrowdStrike Cloud? 

CrowdStrike Falcon is designed to maximize customer visibility into real-time and historical endpoint security events by gathering event data needed to identify, understand and respond to attacks — but nothing more.

CrowdStrike has revolutionized endpoint protection by combining three crucial elements: next-generation AV, endpoint detection and response (EDR), and a 24/7 managed hunting service — all powered by intelligence and uniquely delivered via the cloud in a single integrated solution.

CrowdStrike is an advanced and holistic Endpoint Protection Platform. It offers businesses a full suite of granular security modules, ranging from anti-virus at the most basic level to an advanced Endpoint Detection and Response platform.

Why should clients adopt the CrowdStrike platform?

"By putting all the computing power it normally takes to analyze security data up into the cloud, CrowdStrike can correlate data across multiple clients to discover emerging threats and build protections against them almost instantly."Crowdstrike is helping me shorten that time from breach to detection.

Falcon Insight™ is the EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) module of CrowdStrike® Falcon® endpoint protection. Falcon Insight acts like a DVR on the endpoint, recording activity to catch incidents that evaded prevention measures.
