Read MoreHide Full Article

CrowdStrike (CRWD - Free Report) recently unveiled its latest graph database — Asset Graph — that dynamically monitors and tracks complex interactions among assets providing graphic visualizations of the asset relationships such as devices, users, accounts, applications, cloud workloads and operations technology to secure IT operations from breaches.

The new release, which offers a single holistic view of the risks posed by the assets, is powered by CrowdStrike Security Cloud and supports the CrowdStrike Falcon platform. Asset Graph protects and manages the IT environment of the organizations by enabling them to make informed, risk-based decisions that can range from security to IT performance, utilization, capacity, license management and several other things.

CrowdStrike’s Falcon Discover will be the first module to utilize the Asset Graph solution. Integrating Asset Graph and Falcon Discover with ServiceNow, IT professionals will be able to get better asset visibility across devices in a single console, delivering enhanced monitoring over managed and unmanaged/ unsupported assets. Through this move, CrowdStrike will identify assets, identities and configurations across all systems, including cloud, on-premises, mobile, and Internet of Things (IoT), aiding organizations in enforcing security hygiene and managing their security posture for risk reduction.

The latest launch reflects CrowdStrike’s support for the acceleration of security transformation among its enterprise customers led by digitization.

The company started graph technologies with the launch of Threat Graph in July last year. Threat Graph is a cloud-based, massively scalable graph database that enables the security company to visualize and evaluate event data generated by thousands of endpoints and cloud workloads protected by its Falcon platform. It was designed to store, query, and analyze relevant security events enabling Falcon to identify and stop attacks in progress.
