BENGALURU: CrowdStrike set a new speed benchmark for cybersecurity threat detection, identifying and alerting on a sophisticated eCrime adversary attack in just four minutes during the closed-book MITRE Engenuity’s ATT&CK® Evaluations: Managed Services-Round 2. CrowdStrike Falcon® Complete MDR operates at the speed of the adversary, detecting security incidents six to 11 times faster than competitive vendors while scoring the highest in detection coverage.

MITRE’s closed-book evaluation emulated a real-world eCrime attack without giving the vendors prior knowledge of the threat scenario – creating the most accurate assessment of a vendor’s capabilities. In this scenario, the prevention capabilities of the Falcon agent were not permitted and the Falcon platform was operating in detect-only mode, meaning no automated actions could be taken to kill processes. In this rigorous setting, CrowdStrike reported 42 out of the 43 adversary techniques. MITRE recorded CrowdStrike’s mean-time-to-detect (MTTD) – the average time between when a specific attack activity was performed and an email alert regarding that activity was received – at a record-breaking four minutes, setting a new benchmark for speed in threat detection.

“Stopping breaches requires security teams to operate at the speed of the adversary. The Falcon platform’s unique cloud-born, AI-native architecture with one intelligent sensor delivers the best analyst experience and the fastest, most effective cybersecurity outcomes in the industry,” said Michael Sentonas, President of CrowdStrike. “Multiple platforms and stitched-together solutions are hard to use, create operational complexity, and slow security teams down when speed matters most. This is evident in testing scenarios and even more so in real-world environments. The powerful combination of CrowdStrike’s elite team of experts, the Falcon platform, and our knowledge of the adversary is unmatched in delivering the speed and efficacy needed to stop breaches.”

Cloud intrusions have surged by 75% over the past year, increasing the pressure on SecOps teams that are already grappling with a shortage of skilled personnel and the inefficiency of numerous disjointed tools. With the native integration of ASPM into Falcon Cloud Security, CrowdStrike is driving consolidation across SecOps with a unified platform that enhances risk visibility and protection across the entire cloud estate, from infrastructure to applications and the services running inside of them, enforcing comprehensive, code-to-runtime security. With this release, CrowdStrike is advancing the market and setting a new standard for what customers can expect from a comprehensive CNAPP.

“The complexity of cloud environments and rapid pace of changes creates misconfigurations and vulnerabilities that adversaries increasingly exploit. Disjointed point products and fragmented platforms create gaps in security defenses that can lead to a breach,” said Karan Gupta, head of engineering, at CrowdStrike. “With the integration of Falcon ASPM with Falcon Cloud Security, we’re providing one platform that provides comprehensive risk visibility and workload protection across the entire cloud estate. This revolutionizes CNAPP with integrated ASPM and provides organizations with a blueprint that bridges the gap between their security and development teams.”

The Strategic Leader in Cloud Security Sets a New Standard
CrowdStrike unifies the critical CNAPP capabilities that define modern cloud security in a single, cloud-native platform, delivering the deep visibility, integration into DevOps workflows, and rapid incident response capabilities teams need to manage and respond to incidents and secure complex cloud infrastructure and applications with priority and context.

Validated as a market leader by multiple industry analyst firms, CrowdStrike extends its strategic leadership and sets a new standard for modern cloud security with unified CNAPP capabilities from a single agent and single platform that delivers:

• Business Threat Context: SecOps teams can immediately understand and prioritize the high-risk threats and vulnerabilities that target sensitive data and the mission-critical applications that are the foundation of an organization.
• Deep Runtime Visibility: With comprehensive monitoring across runtime environments, security teams can rapidly identify security vulnerabilities across cloud infrastructure, workloads, applications, APIs, GenAI, and data to eliminate security gaps and stop breaches.
• Runtime Protection that Stops Breaches: Fueled by industry-leading threat intelligence, Falcon Cloud Security detects and prevents cloud-based threats in real-time, delivering the security outcome customers need most – stopping the breach.
• Industry Leading MDR and CDR: By unifying industry-leading managed threat hunting with deep visibility across cloud, identity, and endpoints, CrowdStrike’s Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) speeds detection and response across every stage of a cloud attack, even as threats move laterally from cloud to endpoint.
• Shift Left Security: By embedding security early in the application development lifecycle, Falcon Cloud Security enables teams to preemptively address potential issues, streamlining the development process and boosting efficiency across development and security operations.

“With CrowdStrike Falcon ASPM, we’ve gone from multiple tools, high complexity and spending a lot for poor visibility to a single pane of glass where we can do everything with one platform,” said Jason Deluce, director of information technology, Porter Airlines. “Cybersecurity is key to scaling the company and we know CrowdStrike is there for us.”
