CrowdStrike
Endpoint, identity and cloud protection on one platform, now extended to secure how your people and agents use AI.
CrowdStrike Falcon protects the endpoint and identity plane underneath everything, and extends to cloud-native runtime data security for container-heavy estates.
What we deliver with it
- ✓Falcon endpoint detection and response
- ✓Identity threat protection
- ✓Cloud-native and runtime data security
- ✓Falcon AIDR for AI detection and response
- ✓Managed detection and response options
Four planes of protection, managed from one console.
Falcon started in endpoint detection and response and has grown into a single platform that covers identity, cloud and, now, the AI layer. One lightweight sensor, one place to investigate.
Endpoint (EDR)
Real-time detection and response on every device, the capability that built CrowdStrike.
Identity protection
Spot and stop identity-based attacks and lateral movement before they spread.
Cloud & runtime
Cloud-native protection and runtime data security for container-heavy and cloud estates.
AI detection & response
Falcon AIDR secures the prompt and agent layer where AI actually runs. New in the platform.
When AI runs, language becomes an attack surface.
As your people adopt Copilot and chatbots, and you start building agents, a new layer opens up: the prompts, responses and agent actions in between. Falcon AIDR brings the same detection-and-response model that defined endpoint security to that layer, so you can adopt AI with confidence instead of caution.
See AI everywhere
Visibility into how employees use AI and how agents operate, mapping the relationships between users, prompts, models, agents and MCP servers, with runtime logs for compliance and investigations. Shadow AI stops being a blind spot.
Block prompt attacks
Detect and stop prompt injection, jailbreaks and model manipulation in real time, in text and in images, drawing on research into more than 180 prompt-injection techniques mapped to MITRE ATLAS.
Stop risky AI use
Block unsafe interactions, contain malicious agent actions and enforce policy by user, location, model and application, so AI stays inside the boundaries you set without getting in people's way.
Protect sensitive data
Detect and block credentials, PII, regulated data and source code before they reach a model or external AI tool, with redaction options from masking to format-preserving encryption that keep workflows intact.
Falcon AIDR figures are CrowdStrike's, from its December 2025 general-availability materials.
DSPM that follows data in motion, not just data at rest.
CrowdStrike brought DSPM into the Falcon platform with the Flow Security acquisition, and it runs as part of Falcon Cloud Security. Where most DSPM tools only scan stored data, Falcon Data Protection also watches data as it moves, across cloud, SaaS, APIs and endpoints, and correlates sensitivity with real exposure so you fix what an attacker would actually reach first.
Discover & classify everywhere
Finds and classifies structured and unstructured data across cloud, SaaS and endpoints, with agentless scanning for data at rest, including the shadow stores nobody mapped.
Data in motion, at runtime
Lightweight eBPF monitoring follows sensitive data as it moves through APIs, containers and cloud storage, the live exposure that at-rest-only DSPM never sees.
Prioritise by real risk
Correlates data sensitivity with misconfiguration, public exposure, over-permissive access and attack paths, so the riskiest data gets fixed first, not a flat list of findings.
One platform, one console
DSPM sits beside cloud, identity, endpoint and AI posture in the Falcon console, so data risk is seen in context and acted on with the same agent you already run.
If you already run Falcon for endpoint and identity, extending into DSPM means one platform, one console and no extra agent sprawl. We scope it to where your sensitive data actually lives, deploy and tune it, then hand it over. Where deep multi-cloud and SaaS data discovery is the priority, we pair or compare it with Cyera; for data in motion to the web and AI, with Netskope. See how the pieces fit in Data Protection.
CrowdStrike is one piece. We design the whole system.
We back the best-fit technology in each domain, integrate it properly, and hand it over to you to run. No lock-ins, just results.
What CrowdStrike does, and when we pick it.
EDR, managed detection, identity protection.
What is CrowdStrike?
A cloud-native endpoint protection (EPP) and endpoint detection and response (EDR) platform. Single lightweight agent across Windows, Mac, Linux, mobile and cloud workloads.
How is CrowdStrike different from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint?
CrowdStrike leads on deep threat hunting, managed detection (Falcon Complete) and incident response. Defender for Endpoint is excellent and tightly integrated with M365. We pick which fits your environment, often Defender for heavily-Microsoft shops, CrowdStrike where deeper EDR and managed detection are needed.
What is Falcon Complete?
CrowdStrike’s 24x7 managed detection and response service: their analysts watch your tenant, hunt threats, and respond to incidents. Useful when you do not have a full SOC team in-house.
What does CrowdStrike cover beyond endpoints?
Identity Protection (login anomalies and lateral movement), Cloud Workload Protection (cloud servers and containers), exposure management and threat intelligence.
Will it slow down user devices?
No. The agent is intentionally lightweight and one of the lowest-impact EDRs on the market.
How does it integrate with our wider stack?
Native integrations with Microsoft (Entra, Defender), Netskope (data context), and SIEM platforms. We design the integration alongside the deployment so the whole stack talks.
