Why Choose Falcon Prevent

Better protection

CrowdStrike's cloud-native next-gen antivirus (NGAV) protects against all types of attacks from commodity malware to sophisticated attacks — even when offline.

Fast & easy deployment

Falcon Prevent is fully operational in seconds, no need for signatures, fine-tuning, or costly infrastructure.

Optimal Performance

From initial deployment through ongoing day-to-day use, Falcon Prevent operates without impacting resources or productivity.

"One thing that is really cool about CrowdStrike is the impact on operations. When we deployed CrowdStrike, we were delighted and so were users, because nothing changed. The solution does not cause any performance degradation; so much so that no one noticed we had deployed a new security solution."

- Fabiano Moura, IT Executive Manager, Autoglass
