Cloud technology has revolutionized business operations, but the digital transformation required to adopt and scale cloud technology exposes vulnerabilities that traditional cybersecurity approaches struggle to address — often leaving organizations vulnerable to adversaries.

Frost & Sullivan has recognized CrowdStrike as a leader in its Frost Radar for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP) for the third consecutive year. CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security continues to set the standard for securing hybrid and multi-cloud environments, as evidenced by our placement at the forefront of both the Innovation Index and Growth Index.

As organizations accelerate their innovation in the cloud and their adoption of AI, securing AI workloads and identities has become critical. Misconfigurations, vulnerabilities and identity-based threats expose high-value assets to potential manipulation and exploitation. For AWS customers, advancing cloud security means establishing resilient guardrails that protect innovation without compromising speed.

Modern adversaries are quiet. No longer reliant on clunky malware to breach their targets, they have adopted more subtle and effective methods to infiltrate businesses, move laterally and access critical applications, steal data, impersonate users and more. They are also gaining speed: The average eCrime breakout time, now just 62 minutes, has fallen in recent years as adversaries accelerate from initial intrusion to lateral movement.

As organizations scale their operations on Amazon Web Services (AWS), they must secure their identities and ensure all users have the correct permissions. AWS IAM Identity Center is built to simplify access management across multiple AWS accounts — a critical tool for rapidly growing AWS environments. This hub for identity data and processes demands strong protection against the identity-focused threats growing popular among today’s adversaries.

Small business owners are wearing more hats than ever before. Along with managing operations, sales, innovation, customer satisfaction and more, they must also stay on top of trends that can affect their business trajectory — including cybersecurity and the ever-evolving range of cyber threats.

Identity is the new battleground in today’s rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape. Microsoft Active Directory (AD), a cornerstone of enterprise identity management, is a frequent target for attackers. For organizations, protecting these critical environments without adding complexity is essential. Many organizations struggle to get full visibility into changes made within Active Directory.

BYOVD involves adversaries writing to disk and loading a legitimate, but vulnerable, driver to access the kernel of an operating system. This allows them to evade detection mechanisms and manipulate the system at a deep level, often bypassing protections like EDR. For the exploitation to succeed, attackers must first ensure the driver is brought on the target system. This is followed by the initiation of a privileged process to load the driver, setting the stage for further malicious activities.

As organizations deploy more AI-enabled systems across their networks, adversaries are taking note and using sophisticated new tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) against them. The need for continued innovation to fight these threats is paramount.

While SIEM solutions have existed for decades now, the market has faced recent upheaval with the advent of cloud-native solutions and a surge of mergers and acquisitions in the last year. As the SIEM market undergoes seismic shifts, CrowdStrike and Cribl have joined forces to help SOCs with their modernization journey. We’re pleased to share that CrowdStrike and Cribl are expanding our partnership to help organizations take the next step in their SIEM journey.
