They never really left — they just got quieter, faster, and bolder. In this episode of the Adversary Universe podcast, Adam and Cristian trace the resurgence of SCATTERED SPIDER, one of today’s most aggressive and sophisticated adversary groups.

Ransomware is evolving—and it's targeting your blind spots. Attackers now encrypt files remotely over SMB shares using stolen credentials and unmanaged systems, bypassing traditional defenses. CrowdStrike closes this gap with File System Containment, a powerful Falcon Endpoint Security feature that detects ransomware-style behaviors like mass encryption and blocks destructive file actions instantly—directly at the endpoint, without relying on cloud checks or process termination.

This demo shows how Charlotte AI transforms raw vulnerability data from Falcon Exposure Management into a CISO-ready report. By pulling enriched insights from Next-Gen SIEM—like ExPRT.AI scores and asset criticality—the workflow translates technical signals into business risk. The result: a clear, automated email that highlights key trends, impacted systems, and actionable remediation paths. CrowdStrike Exposure Management.

Email remains the top attack vector, and speed is critical when every second counts. Falcon Next-Gen SIEM and Fusion SOAR streamline detection by ingesting email telemetry and automating investigation with Charlotte AI. By analyzing sender behavior and message content, Charlotte AI delivers real-time, human-readable verdicts with confidence scoring. Teams can quickly isolate threats, block senders, or escalate suspicious activity. With AI-powered workflows and automation, email triage becomes faster, more precise, and scalable.

Vulnerabilities pile up fast, but which ones truly matter to your business? With Charlotte AI Agentic Workflows, CrowdStrike turns overwhelming technical data into business-ready intelligence so you can prioritize what really counts. By pulling real-time vulnerability insights from Falcon Exposure Management, Charlotte AI evaluates what systems are at risk, how many users could be impacted, and what services or revenue streams are on the line. In this demo, you’ll see how AI-driven reasoning translates CVEs and severity scores into clear business impact, no manual analysis required.

You asked, and we answered. This episode of the Adversary Universe podcast takes a deep dive into questions from our listeners. What did you want to know? Well, a lot about adversaries, but also about career paths and the threat intel space.

See how CrowdStrike Falcon for XIoT delivers real-time visibility, AI-powered risk prioritization with ExPRT.AI, and safe protection for connected assets across industrial, IoT, and OT environments. This demo shows how Falcon discovers hard-to-reach XIoT assets in minutes, re-scores vulnerabilities with real attacker context, and helps you focus on what matters most, all while maintaining operational continuity.

Most vulnerability tools flood teams with static scores and long lists but ExPRT.AI changes the game by predicting what adversaries are most likely to exploit. This demo drill down shows how ExPRT.AI dynamically scores risk across asset types, network exposures, and third-party findings. You’ll see how it re-prioritizes vulnerabilities based on real-world telemetry, attacker behavior, and environmental context including a Tenable example.

Vulnerability data is often siloed and captured in static dashboards, disconnected from real-time investigation. But with Falcon Exposure Management streaming into NG-SIEM, that changes. This demo shows how teams can correlate live vulnerability events with endpoint behavior, network activity, and even cloud telemetry. Using a Firefox example, we trace active and historical exposure, revealing how ExPRT.AI, asset metadata, and cloud-aware context come together in Next Gen SIEM.
