CrowdStrike (CRWD) Unveils New CDR Capabilities to Stop Breaches
Read MoreHide Full Article
CrowdStrike (CRWD - Free Report) has unveiled new Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) innovations aimed at streamlining threat hunting and enhancing visibility across cloud, identity and endpoints. With cloud intrusions growing 75% in the past year, the ecosystem has become a prime target for cyber adversaries that exploit identity-based attacks and visibility gaps across fragmented platforms.
To address these challenges, CrowdStrike's latest release combines its expertise in managed threat hunting with its Cloud Native Application Protection Platform. This unified approach sets a new standard for CDR, offering comprehensive visibility across cloud environments, identities and endpoints. By consolidating tools and closing visibility gaps, CRWD empowers Cloud SecOps teams to swiftly detect and respond to threats, thereby minimizing the risk of cloud breaches.
The significance of proactive detection and response is underscored by incidents like the Summer 2023 breach of Microsoft Exchange Online, which was called "preventable" by the DHS Cyber Safety Review Board. Adversaries often exploit identity-based attacks in cloud environments, highlighting the importance of robust security measures.
CrowdStrike's CDR innovations include expanded visibility into cloud control plane activity, protection against cloud identity threats and tracking of adversary lateral movement from cloud to endpoint. These features enable rapid response and actionable insights, facilitating decisive remediation and reducing the impact of cyber threats.
Michael Sentonas, president of the company, emphasized CRWD’s commitment to setting the standard for CDR. By providing Cloud SecOps teams with the tools needed to effectively manage cloud security, CrowdStrike aims to mitigate the risk of breaches and safeguard organizations against evolving cyber threats.
The enhanced capabilities of CDR come at a time when there’s a growing demand for cloud-based cybersecurity solutions, owing to the rise of data breaches triggered by rising hybrid working trends. Most remote work setups require employees to connect to employers’ IT infrastructures through cloud-based off-premise work setups. The new capabilities that CDR will bring to CRWD’s customers will drive the company's top line.
Enterprises encounter persistent and sophisticated cyber threats to safeguard cloud, endpoints and on-premises IT infrastructure. The rising need for cybersecurity due to the growth of data breaches presents an opportunity for CrowdStrike and gives it the scope to expand its market presence.
