Think It, Build It, Secure It with CrowdStrike Cloud Security

Everything you need in a single cloud-native security platform

Eliminate the headaches of integrating point products. Gain real-time visibility, detection, and response to prevent data breaches, and ensure compliance in a unified platform that creates less work for security teams and optimizes cloud deployments.
Discovery, Visibility and Compliance for any cloud

Gain visibility into your entire cloud infrastructure, continuously monitor for misconfigurations, ensure security policy and compliance enforcement, and proactively detect and prevent threats enabling DevSecOps teams to “shift left” and fix issues before they reach production.
Protect workloads, hosts and containers

Build and run applications knowing they are protected. Get access to automated discovery, runtime protection, EDR for cloud workloads and containers, and managed threat hunting on a single lightweight agent enabling you to securely deploy applications in the cloud with greater speed and efficiency.

Unified Cloud Security

Stopping breaches using cloud-scale data and analytics requires a tightly integrated platform. Each function plays a crucial part in detecting modern threats, and must be designed and built for speed, scale and reliability.

CrowdStrike Cloud Security goes beyond ad-hoc approaches by unifying everything you need for cloud security in a single platform to deliver comprehensive protection from the host to the cloud and everywhere in between.

CLOUD DISCOVERY AND VISIBILITY

Single source of truth: Delivers comprehensive visibility of cloud assets, security configurations, workloads and containers across multi-cloud environments so you can mitigate risks and reduce the attack surface.
Discover cloud resources: Provides details automatically upon deployment, including misconfigurations, metadata, networking, security and change activity.
Deep insights: Visibility into workload events and instance metadata enables detection, response, proactive threat hunting and investigation, ensuring that nothing goes unseen in your cloud environments.
See more, know more, do more: Enables to detect and investigate attacks that span multiple environments and different types of workloads, pivoting from endpoint to instances to containers.
Eliminate security blind spots: Identifies cloud resources not protected by the Falcon Platform

MISCONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT & ONE-CLICK REMEDIATION

Assess and validate: Compares the most common to the most complex cloud application configurations to industry and organizational benchmarks, to identify violations and remediate in real time.
Fix issues that leave cloud resources exposed: Identifies and remediates risks such as misconfigurations, open IP ports and unauthorized modifications with guided remediation and guardrails that enable developers to avoid critical mistakes.
Real-time monitoring and guided remediation: Provides step-by-step remediation rules so you can to act quickly and eliminate issues.
Monitor storage: Ensure permissions are secure and not publicly accessible.
Monitor database instances: Verifies that high availability, backups, and encryption are enabled, as well as security groups to limit exposure.

CONTAINER SECURITY & RUNTIME PROTECTION

EDR for containers: Secures the host and container via a single Falcon agent running on the host, and runtime protection defends containers against active attacks.
Rapid investigation: Investigate container incidents easily when detections are associated with the specific container and not bundled with the host events.
Monitor and capture everything: Captures container start, stop, image and runtime information and all events generated inside the container, even if it only runs for a few seconds.
Proactive threat hunting: Once deployed, Falcon immediately begins to record container details and activity, enabling proactive threat hunting where security teams can hunt, get query results in seconds and easily pivot from one clue to the next.
Continuous availability: Event details that provide forensic evidence and a full set of enriched data are continuously available, even for ephemeral containers after they have been decommissioned.
Uncover hidden threats: An easy-to-read process tree provides full attack details in context for faster and easier investigations.
