CrowdStrike’s success was driven by an alternative approach to IT security, which was fundamentally different from what was available at the time. The company created the first cloud-based security platform, a revolutionary endpoint protection technology offered as a SaaS (Software as a Service) solution for businesses. Users subscribe to a license and gain access to the software. The reliability of this software is evidenced by the fact that CrowdStrike is used by 5 of the world’s top 10 financial institutions.
The company’s main solution — CrowdStrike Falcon platform — is the industry’s first cloud-based solution that protects endpoints by combining next-generation antivirus, EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) system, and a 24/7 managed threat hunting service. All accessible through a single agent on the client device.
Falcon is based on artificial intelligence (AI) and combines technology, intelligence and human expertise into one simple solution that reliably stops any threat. The platform provides real-time protection in a matter of minutes, and effective artificial intelligence algorithms allow you to see the result from the first day of use. The cloud infrastructure and architecture eliminates the complexity of working with different applications, ensuring the manageability and speed of the solution.
The CrowdStrike Falcon platform is flexible and scalable containing various modules for protecting cloud space and local networks with various end devices (laptops, PCs, servers, IoT devices). Each module is available on the Falcon platform, implemented with a single cloud-based management console and a single agent for the endpoint device.
IT professionals at enterprises that have switched to CrowdStrike Falcon will fully appreciate the platform’s flexible settings and simple functionality. It timely provides information about suspicious activity and existing threats. Excellent detail is presented in a concise form, not overwhelming the user with an excess of information. The single agent is very lightweight and does not require significant computer resources, preserving both the computer’s performance and employee productivity.
