CrowdStrike launches real-time cloud security innovations

Cybersecurity company CrowdStrike has introduced innovations to its flagship Falcon Cloud Security platform aimed at enabling customers to detect and stop cloud attacks within seconds.

The Cloud Detection and Response innovations are powered by a recently developed real-time detection engine built on streaming technology, which analysis cloud logs as they stream in to allow for detections to be applied instantly.

Other enhancements include expanded cloud indicators of attack engineered specifically for cloud adversary behaviour, which leverage machine learning and AI to correlate live activity with cloud asset and identity contexts to expose advanced attacks, as well as additional automated response actions configured to trigger the instant threats are detected.

CrowdStrike CTO Elia Zaitsev said real-time security can be the difference between stopping a breach and needing incident response, adding that every second counts.

“Today’s adversary moves fast and across domains, and defenders can’t afford to waste time waiting for cloud logs to process or detections to populate,” he said. “CrowdStrike’s new real-time CDR reduces response time to seconds, stopping cloud threats before they spread.”

The expanded capabilities can be paired with the CrowdStrike Falcon Adversary Overwatch, which enables 24/7 AI-powered threat hunting across both CrowdStrike Falcon platform and third-party data.
