Falcon Guardian: Claude Code Hooks

Oct 16, 2026 By CrowdStrike In CrowdStrike

This demo shows how to secure Claude Code with CrowdStrike Falcon Guardian. Claude Code Hooks run a check at set points, such as when a developer submits a prompt or before a tool runs. Falcon Guardian uses those hooks to check prompts and tool calls against a central policy, deployed through Claude Code's managed settings file so developers can't override it.
