CrowdStrike Unveils Falcon Cloud Security Innovations to Unify Protection Across Cloud Infrastructure, Applications, Data and AI Models

CrowdStrike announced AI Security Posture Management and the general availability of Data Security Posture Management as fully integrated components of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security. These innovations make Falcon Cloud Security the only CNAPP to deliver comprehensive visibility and protection across cloud infrastructure, applications, data and AI models from a single, unified platform.

Additionally, CrowdStrike unveiled powerful new enhancements to CrowdStrike Falcon® Identity Protection, including Falcon Privileged Access and real-time threat protection for Microsoft Entra ID. These new innovations are designed to stop cross-domain attacks that leverage stolen credentials to breach cloud environments and move laterally across endpoints, all within a single workflow.

Cloud exploitation cases grew 110% over the past year, while identity-based attacks continue to surge with 75% of attacks to gain initial access being malware-free. At the same time, adversaries are increasingly targeting AI services and large language models (LLM) deployed in the cloud. Security teams need a modern CNAPP that provides visibility into, and real-time protection across, every attack path to stop sophisticated threats and allow organizations to safely harness the transformative power of AI. Falcon Cloud Security is the only platform that protects the entire modern cloud estate – infrastructure, applications, data and AI models – within a single unified console and workflow.

“As organizations increasingly adopt hybrid cloud and AI strategies to fuel their growth, they also introduce more complexity and gaps that adversaries exploit, leading to greater risk and potential compromise,” said Michael Sentonas, president, CrowdStrike. “With the latest innovations to Falcon Cloud Security and Falcon Identity Protection, we’re eliminating complexity and closing critical security gaps through real-time visibility and protection across hybrid cloud environments, applications, data, AI models and identities. The only way to see and secure every attack path is to unify workflows on a single console that stops breaches across the entire cloud estate.”

New innovations to Falcon Cloud Security and Falcon Identity Protection include:

CrowdStrike also announced additional Falcon platform innovations and CrowdStrike Financial Services this week at Fal.Con 2024, cybersecurity’s premier user conference. CrowdStrike Financial Services accelerates Falcon platform consolidation, providing customers with tailored financing solutions to remove procurement complexity.
