This provides visibility into adversary activity that is unique to the industry.

CrowdStrike Falcon® Intelligence Elite expands the CrowdStrike Falcon® Intelligence Premium subscription by providing an assigned threat intelligence analyst dedicated to personalizing the intelligence to your organization’s needs.

There are a variety of convenient communication options to ensure prompt response. These include email, phone, text messaging and instant messaging. We recommend using Slack for instant messaging, but other options are available.

Priority intelligence requirements (PIRs) are a key component of the threat intelligence lifecycle. PIRs define the threat intelligence questions you need answered, from threats to your executives to threats to critical data in specific applications or operating systems or within your business operations.

An understanding of your PIRs helps CrowdStrike know what is important to you. CrowdStrike captures your PIRs during onboarding and updates them regularly — and if you don’t have PIRs, you will receive guidance and recommendations. PIRs are critical — with an understanding of your PIRs, your intelligence can be personalized and CrowdStrike will proactively alert you if any relevant activity is observed.

A request for information (RFI) pack enables CrowdStrike Falcon® Intelligence Premium and Elite customers’ to request threat intelligence research on a specific topic they choose and receive a custom CrowdStrike response. For example, if your organization is looking to implement a two-factor authentication solution, you may want to know “What threats or vulnerabilities exist in two-factor authentication?” You can submit this as an RFI, and CrowdStrike will assign a domain expert, perform research on your behalf and deliver a custom intelligence response.

Each CrowdStrike Falcon® Intelligence Elite subscription includes one CrowdStrike Falcon® Intelligence Premium RFI Pack, which enables up to five RFIs that can be used throughout the term of the CrowdStrike Falcon® Intelligence Elite subscription. If you exhaust your allotment of five RFIs, additional packs are available for purchase. Please contact Sales for more information.

CrowdStrike Threat Graph® is an integral component of the CrowdStrike Security Cloud that identifies shifts in adversarial tactics, and maps tradecraft across CrowdStrike’s global customer base providing real-time visibility into how adversaries operate worldwide.

A Threat Graph inquiry enables you to submit an IOC for research, which is then put through a Threat Graph search to identify whether that indicator is unique to your environment, focused on a specific sector, region or demographic, or is a commodity attack.

CrowdStrike Falcon® Intelligence Elite pricing will be the greater of (a) the specified minimum subscription fee or (b) a percentage of your CrowdStrike Falcon® Intelligence Premium subscription.
