Time and again, analyst reports, independent tests and numerous other awards and acknowledgements affirm CrowdStrike is a leader in cybersecurity. Why is this important? Because when CrowdStrike is #1, it’s our customers who win. But to us, the best validation of the power of the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform comes from our customers themselves. We are proud to have earned the trust of so many organizations — over 20,000 customers and counting — around the world.

When the CrowdStrike Services team conducts a proactive security engagement, such as a Cybersecurity Maturity Assessment or Tabletop Exercise, it often uses CrowdStrike Falcon® Spotlight to identify what vulnerabilities exist in the environment. Unfortunately, this can be a disheartening experience, as many organizations we see have millions, even tens of millions, of unpatched vulnerabilities. It’s typical to see at least a quarter of those listed with a CVSS rating of Critical.

If you run CrowdStrike Falcon® LogScale, previously known as Humio, locally or on-premises, one of your first steps is to configure local storage so that LogScale has a persistent data store where it can send logs. If you’re running LogScale as a cluster setup, then you’ll have some data replication as a function of how LogScale manages the data. However, even with that replication, you’ll probably still want something outside of your local infrastructure for resiliency.

Docker is the primary tool used for containerizing workloads. If your company wants to build containers with quality, then you’ll need access to your Docker container logs for debugging, validation and optimization. While engineering teams can view container logs through straightforward CLI tools (think docker logs), these tools don’t provide a mechanism for storing or indexing logs over time. A central, remote location for gathering logs from Docker containers is necessary.

Identity isn’t a security problem — it’s the security problem. This was the takeaway from my recent meeting with a local government CISO in the Washington, D.C. area. Tasked with protecting infrastructure, including the fire and police departments, the CISO turned to CrowdStrike a year ago for endpoint and identity protection.

Following CrowdStrike’s strong performance in the first-ever MITRE ATT&CK® Evaluations for Security Managed Services Providers with 99% detection coverage, we take a deep dive into the testing process and how our elite managed services operate in the real world. We recently announced CrowdStrike achieved 99% detection coverage in the inaugural MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations for Security Managed Services Providers.
