Time is of the essence when it comes to protecting your data, and often, teams are sifting through hundreds or thousands of alerts to try to pinpoint truly malicious user behavior. Manual triage and response takes up valuable resources, so machine learning can help busy teams prioritize what to tackle first and determine what warrants further investigation.

Your business is in a race against modern adversaries — and legacy approaches to security simply do not work in blocking their evolving attacks. Fragmented point products are too slow and complex to deliver the threat detection and prevention capabilities required to stop today’s adversaries — whose breakout time is now measured in minutes — with precision and speed. As technologies change, threat actors are constantly refining their techniques to exploit them.

The massive increase in cloud adoption has driven adversaries to focus their efforts on cloud environments — a shift that led to cloud intrusions increasing by 75% in 2023, emphasizing the need for stronger cloud security. Larger scale leads to larger risk. As organizations increase their quantity of cloud assets, their attack surface grows. Each asset brings its own set of security concerns.

Today’s businesses are building their future in the cloud. They rely on cloud infrastructure and services to operate, develop new products and deliver greater value to their customers. The cloud is the catalyst for digital transformation among organizations of all sizes and industries. But while the cloud powers immeasurable speed, growth and innovation, it also presents risk.

The industry’s first identity detection and response (ITDR) analyst report names CrowdStrike an Overall Leader and a “cyber industry force.” In KuppingerCole Leadership Compass, Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) 2024: IAM Meets the SOC, CrowdStrike was named a Leader in every category — Product, Innovation, Market and Overall Ranking — and positioned the highest for Innovation among all eight vendors evaluated.

As adversaries become faster and stealthier, they relentlessly search for vulnerable assets to exploit. Meanwhile, your digital footprint is expanding, making it increasingly challenging to keep track of all of your assets. It’s no wonder 76% of breaches in 2023 were due to unknown and unmanaged internet-facing assets. Against this backdrop, it’s more critical than ever for organizations to maintain a continuous and comprehensive understanding of their entire attack surface.

The #1 global managed detection and response (MDR) provider and pioneer continues to dominate. Today, CrowdStrike was named a Leader in the 2024 IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Managed Detection and Response 2024 Vendor Assessment1 among the 19 vendors evaluated in the report. CrowdStrike was also recently named a Leader in Frost & Sullivan’s 2024 Frost Radar: Managed Detection and Response. The global demand for MDR continues to surge as businesses face a harsh reality.

Organizations are increasingly turning to cloud computing for IT agility, resilience and scalability. Amazon Web Services (AWS) stands at the forefront of this digital transformation, offering a robust, flexible and cost-effective platform that helps businesses drive growth and innovation. However, as organizations migrate to the cloud, they face a complex and growing threat landscape of sophisticated and cloud-conscious threat actors.

Organizations are increasingly concerned about high-profile employees’ information being exposed on the deep and dark web. The CrowdStrike Counter Adversary Operations team is often asked to find fake social media accounts and personally identifiable information (PII) that might be exposed. Impersonations and leaked PII can unravel lives and ruin the reputations of individuals and their organizations.

Over the last year there has been a prevailing sentiment that while AI will not necessarily be replacing humans, humans who use AI will replace those that don’t.
