Cloud Detection and Response: stop cloud attacks in motion
Protect the cloud AI depends on. Real-time CDR exposes attacks hidden in legitimate activity and stops them before they spread.
Cloud adversaries don’t break in. They blend in.
Attackers and compromised AI agents hide in trusted activity. Delayed, siloed defenses miss it.
1. AI-enabled adversary operations and attacks surged by 89% year-over-year1
2. 171% YoY Increase in eCrime cloud-conscious activity1
3. 35% of cloud incidents were from valid account abuse1
4. 27 seconds – fastest breakout time1
Connect the signals. Reveal the cloud attack in seconds.
Cloud attacks can look legitimate unless your CDR monitors workload and control-plane activity in real time, enriching both with adversary intelligence to reveal the threat.

How Falcon Cloud Security stops cloud attacks
Catch the first malicious move in real time
As humans and AI agents build and operate in the cloud, legitimate cloud activity gives attackers more cover. An adversary uses valid credentials and begins calling trusted cloud APIs. Falcon analyzes activity as it streams in across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Kubernetes, surfacing high-fidelity detections in seconds so the SOC can disrupt the attack before the adversary moves deeper.
Expose behavior no rule anticipated
API calls may be permitted and look normal, especially when AI agents make them through real cloud identities and trusted APIs. By comparing AWS CloudTrail activity with each customer’s baseline, anomaly detection reveals unusual behavior and catches account takeovers and API abuse that predefined rules miss.
Investigate across domains with full cloud context
Investigate activity across cloud and the broader enterprise without manual triage. Surface the full attack story in one place and enrich every investigation with cloud telemetry, detections, and risk signals in CrowdStrike® Unified Cases to close incidents before threats escalate.
Turn adversary context into response decisions
With the attack story assembled, Falcon Cloud Security reveals the abused identity, what executed in the workload, which resources were hit and which adversary techniques are in play. CrowdStrike adversary intelligence shows how the intrusion is progressing and what may follow, so analysts can prioritize activity most likely to become a breach and act with confidence.
Contain the attack with agentic response
Take response actions in the Falcon console, or automate them with CrowdStrike® Charlotte Agentic SOAR across your security stack. Choose the level of human control and automation that fits your policies, and contain the intrusion before it spreads.
Scale defenses with 24/7 managed cloud protection
Augment your team with CrowdStrike experts who monitor, detect, and respond to cloud threats 24/7. Backed by elite threat intelligence and proactive threat hunting, CrowdStrike Falcon® Complete delivers managed protection across your cloud workloads and services — so you stay ahead without adding headcount.
