Falcon for IT enables you to gain fresh asset insights and execute comprehensive IT, security, and compliance workflows, all with a single agent and in a unified console.
Next Gen SIEM: 7 minutes. That’s how long it takes for an adversary to break out and move laterally in your environment. Watch this session to find out how you stay ahead of adversaries with CrowdStrike Next-Gen SIEM. You'll discover how you can collect logs at petabyte scale and investigate threats quickly with blazing-fast search.

Hands-On Workshops:
Workshops get you hands-on with CrowdStrike technology and help your team discover new ways to protect your organization in a rapidly evolving threat landscape. Bring your laptop and get ready to learn from CrowdStrike technical instructors! Pre-registration is required; limited capacity.

Choose from:
1. Advanced Threat Hunting: Powered by Threat Intelligence
2. Securing the Identity Landscape with CrowdStrike

Advanced Threat Hunting: Powered by Threat Intelligence
This hands-on workshop allows participants to identify threats from beyond the perimeter. We’ll assume the role of an airline company and see how an attack could play out. The story begins by detecting an attack and pivoting to CrowdStrike Threat Intelligence. From there, we search the deep web and dark web for signs of our sensitive data in the hands of malicious actors, such as an access broker. Finally, we’ll continuously monitor these corners of the web for any further signs of compromise.
Securing the Identity Landscape with CrowdStrike
80% of attacks today involve compromised credentials - does your agency have the capabilities to stop the malicious use of valid credentials? In this workshop, you'll learn how CrowdStrike Falcon Identity Protection gives you actionable visibility into your identity landscape, detection of all forms of identity based threats and flexible protection to stop breaches in real-time.
