False positives create a huge amount of work that can bog down investigations and lead to alerts being missed. In comparative testing by leading independent third parties, CrowdStrike’s automated protection and remediation has been proven to stop more than 99.7% of malware and ransomware attacks - while generating ZERO false positives.
Eliminating noise and accelerating responses is especially challenging with limited security staff and hard-to-find skill sets. Today’s more sophisticated attacks require a mix of world-class automation and human expertise in the form of human-based threat-hunting, reviewing content and adding context to detections. CrowdStrike’s teams of elite threat hunters are working 24/7, proactively searching for stealthy threats that technology alone cannot detect.
