Each day, enterprise and public sector IT teams face new challenges when managing hybrid work for networks of hundreds, or even thousands, of users. A more distributed workforce means an increased reliance on collaboration and productivity tools. It also requires a strong strategy to protect these systems against vulnerabilities and modern cyberattacks.

Stronger together. Never has an RSA conference theme been more aligned to CrowdStrike’s mission and vision for the future. If you look at our presence at RSAC 2023, CrowdStrike sits at the center of the security ecosystem. Everything we’re doing — from our partner breakfast to partner talks in our booth to our company announcements — highlights our commitment to bringing together the world’s best technology and data to deliver the best security outcomes.

CrowdStrike today introduced CrowdStrike Falcon® Complete XDR, a new managed extended detection and response (MXDR) service that builds on the industry-leading CrowdStrike Falcon® Complete managed detection and response (MDR) service to give customers 24/7 expert-driven management, threat hunting, monitoring and end-to-end remediation across all key attack surfaces to close the cybersecurity skills gap.

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is taking proactive measures to protect the nation’s transportation system by issuing new cybersecurity requirements for airports and aircraft operators. These emergency actions from TSA are part of the plan to increase the cyber resiliency of critical infrastructure and prevent their degradation or disruption.

AWS Verified Access (AVA), a feature of Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networking, delivers secure, zero-trust access to private applications without a VPN by continuously evaluating each request in real time based on contextual security signals like identity, device security status and location. The service grants access based on the security policy configured for each application and then connects the users, thereby improving the security posture of the organization.

CrowdStrike Falcon® Fusion is a cloud-scale, extensible security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) framework that’s natively integrated with the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform and available to CrowdStrike customers at no added cost.

Most hunting enthusiasts agree that the thrill of hunting lies in the chase. Equipped with experience and tools of their trade, hunters skillfully search for signs of prey — a broken twig, a track in the mud. CrowdStrike® Falcon OverWatch™ threat hunters are no different. They search for signs of their prey — of adversaries lurking in the dark — and these signs are called hunting leads.

Digital transformation isn’t only for the good guys. Adversaries are undergoing their own digital transformation to exploit modern IT infrastructures — a trend we’re seeing play out in real time as they increasingly adapt their knowledge and tradecraft to exploit cloud environments. According to the CrowdStrike 2023 Global Threat Report, observed cloud exploitation cases grew by 95% over the previous year.

“We are at a point where the stakes of defensive stagnation pose increasing risks in the face of threat actors’ innovation. This is why it’s so important to continually evolve in how we prevent, detect, and respond to cyberattacks.” This excerpt from my recent testimony to Congress underscores the greatest challenge facing public sector organizations today.

CrowdStrike is delivering powerful new file movement visibility features in CrowdStrike Falcon Device Control to help customers identify and mitigate the risk of data loss through USB devices.
