CrowdStrike

What it is

CrowdStrike is a cybersecurity company best known for the Falcon platform: a cloud-delivered suite centred on endpoint protection, detection and response (EDR/XDR). Organisations deploy a lightweight sensor and manage prevention, hunting and investigation from the Falcon console, with modules that can extend into identity, cloud and related domains depending on licence.

What it helps with

- Detecting and responding to malware, ransomware and adversary tradecraft on endpoints.
- Investigating alerts with timeline and process context from the Falcon sensor.
- Reducing reliance on legacy signature-only antivirus through behavioural and cloud analytics.
- Extending visibility with Falcon modules (for example identity, cloud or threat intelligence) where licensed.
- Supporting managed detection and response options delivered by CrowdStrike services.
- Centralising endpoint security operations for distributed workforces and hybrid estates.

Who it's for

Security operations teams, CISOs and IT security leaders in organisations that need commercial endpoint detection and response, including enterprises standardising on a single EDR/XDR vendor.
