Falcon Complete Expertise

Powered by the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform

CrowdStrike pioneered a new approach to endpoint protection, designed and built to overcome the limitations of legacy security solutions. The Falcon platform delivers the foundation for true next-generation endpoint protection.

  • 100% cloud-native. The Falcon platform delivers immediate time-to-value — no hardware, additional software or configuration is required, which drives down cost and complexity.
  • CrowdStrike Security Cloud. The CrowdStrike Security Cloud® is the brains behind the Falcon platform, providing complete real-time visibility and insight into everything happening on your endpoints throughout your environment.
  • Single lightweight agent. The intelligent, lightweight Falcon agent, unlike any other, blocks attacks while capturing and recording endpoint activity as it happens to detect threats fast.
  • Protection for endpoints, cloud workloads and identities. Enables frictionless endpoint, cloud workload and identity security, delivering real-time threat prevention and IT policy enforcement using identity, behavioral and risk analytics.

Continuous human threat hunting

Falcon Complete includes 24/7 monitoring by the Falcon® OverWatch™ team, CrowdStrike’s human threat detection engine that hunts relentlessly to see and stop the most sophisticated hidden threats.

  • The SEARCH methodology. Falcon OverWatch analysts leverage their proprietary SEARCH methodology — Sense, Enrich, Analyze, Reconstruct, Communicate and Hone — to shine a light into the darkest corners — leaving adversaries with nowhere to hide.

Surgical remediation

When an intrusion is identified, the Falcon Complete team acts quickly and decisively, remotely accessing the affected system using native Falcon platform capabilities to surgically remove persistence mechanisms, stop active processes, block abuse of compromised accounts and clear other latent artifacts. Falcon Complete restores systems to their pre-intrusion state without the burden and disruption of reimaging systems.

  • Surgical remediation in under 60 minutes. Falcon Complete executes surgical remediation remotely, eliminating the cost and burden of reimaging.
  • Greatly reduced impact for the end user. Falcon Complete can often perform remediation without the user being aware that it has happened.
