In today’s fast-paced world, mobility, connectivity and data access are essential. As organizations grow and add more workloads, containers, distributed endpoints and different security solutions to protect them, security can quickly become complex. Modern attacks and adversary tradecraft target vulnerable areas to achieve their objectives. Threats can originate at the endpoint to attack the cloud, or cloud-based threats can attack vulnerable endpoints.
CrowdStrike has been recognized as a Leader in the Forrester Wave™ for Cybersecurity Incident Response Services. When it comes to incident response (IR), time is of the essence. The longer it takes to detect threat activity, investigate an incident and remediate systems across highly distributed environments, the deeper into the threat lifecycle the adversary gets.
“In its current CWS offering, the vendor has great CSPM capabilities for Azure, including detecting overprivileged admins and enforcing storage least privilege and encryption, virtual machine, and network policy controls.” – The Forrester Wave™: Cloud Workload Security, Q1 2022 CrowdStrike is excited to announce we have been named a “Strong Performer” in The Forrester Wave:™ Cloud Workload Security, Q1 2022.
In an effort to stay ahead of improvements in automated detections and preventions, adversary groups continually look to new tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs), and new tooling to progress their mission objectives. One group — known as BlackCat/ALPHV — has taken the sophisticated approach of developing their tooling from the ground up, using newer, more secure languages like Rust and highly customized configuration options per victim.
