CrowdStrike, a leading provider of cloud-based protection for endpoints, workloads, identity and data, has introduced Falcon Identity Threat Protection Complete, the industry's first fully managed identity threat protection solution.
It brings together the Falcon Identity Threat Protection module and Falcon Complete managed service to prevent identity threats, enforce IT policies and provide professional management, monitoring and remediation.
Protection of identity and access data
With the rise of remote working, identity is becoming the focus of attackers, who are increasingly targeting credentials to infiltrate an organization. According to the 2022 CrowdStrike Global Threat Report, nearly 80 percent of cyberattacks use identity-based attacks to compromise legitimate credentials and use techniques like lateral movement to evade quick detection. Defending against identity-based attacks requires both technological and human expertise to ensure organizations can respond quickly to these threats.
“Today's attackers are incredibly adept at obtaining and misusing stolen credentials by exploiting blind spots in legacy systems, contractor systems and other unmanaged devices to infiltrate an organization and nestle unnoticed. This is becoming increasingly problematic in the context of ransomware campaigns. Organizations need to adapt their defenses to stay ahead of attackers. As a leader in MDR, CrowdStrike is constantly developing new solutions to address the ever-evolving threat landscape. With Falcon Identity Threat Protection Complete, organizations can fully detect and respond to identity-based threats in real time to prevent attacks,” said Thomas Etheridge, senior vice president, services at CrowdStrike.
Mature identity security program
With Falcon Identity Threat Protection Complete, organizations can run an effective and sophisticated identity security program without the hassle, cost and time of building their own program.
