As workforce productivity increasingly depends on web-based applications, browsers have become essential gateways to the “connectivity economy.” According to recent data, 93% of desktop internet traffic in 2023 traversed through four popular web browsers.

We’re thrilled to share that the CrowdStrike Falcon sensor now fully supports Google Cloud Run, bringing advanced security capabilities to your serverless applications. While we announced this at Google Cloud Next in April 2024, this blog goes deeper into the integration and shares how customers leveraging Google Cloud Run and CrowdStrike can deploy Falcon quickly to enhance their serverless security requirements.

Adversaries are increasingly attacking cloud environments, as evidenced by a 75% surge in cloud intrusions year-over-year in 2023. They are also getting faster: The fastest breakout time was clocked at just over 2 minutes, according to the CrowdStrike 2024 Global Threat Report. Today’s adversaries are outpacing legacy security approaches. Disjointed point solutions can’t scale or provide visibility into a rapidly growing attack surface.

Phishing is the weapon of choice for many adversaries. And it’s easy to understand why: Users fall victim to attacks in under 60 seconds on average, novice cybercriminals can launch effective phishing campaigns thanks to off-the-shelf phishing kits and generative AI, and above all, it works — 71% of organizations reported at least one successful attack in 2023.

According to the CrowdStrike 2024 Global Threat Report, the fastest recorded eCrime breakout time was just 2 minutes and 7 seconds in 2023. This underscores the need to equip security analysts with modern tools that level the playing field and enable them to work more efficiently and effectively.

Security teams must outpace increasingly fast and sophisticated adversaries to stay ahead. In the most recent closed-book MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Evaluations: Managed Services, the CrowdStrike Falcon platform once again demonstrated it stands alone in its ability to deliver the speed and efficacy needed to stop breaches.

Every day, in a high-stakes race against the clock, protectors must hunt down and stop threats before damage is done. As adversaries work faster and smarter, protectors must operate with greater agility. But legacy SIEMs are holding them back. Designed decades ago when log volumes and adversary speed were a fraction of what they are today, legacy SIEMs hinder investigations with agonizingly slow search speeds.

While every business needs technology to grow and succeed, not all businesses have the skills and resources they need to protect their environments, their data and their customers from today’s security threats. Small businesses in particular are at risk as cybercriminals realize both the potential value of the data they have — and how vulnerable they can be to cyberattacks. According to the U.S.

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) increasingly rely on mobile technology to drive efficiency and stay competitive. However, the use of mobile devices introduces security risks that SMBs must address. Recognizing this, CrowdStrike Falcon for Mobile now offers iOS unmanaged support, extending robust security to devices without the cost and complexities of traditional mobile device management (MDM). Let’s take a closer look.

In today’s era of technological innovation, devices, networks and data are interconnected in a vast digital ecosystem. What organizations build in this ecosystem can affect others in it — for better or worse. We are at an inflection point when it comes to systemic challenges to the resiliency of our digital ecosystem and public policy solutions needed to address them.

At AWS re:Inforce 2024, CrowdStrike is announcing expanded AWS support to provide breach protection, enhanced visibility and faster response across your cloud environment. Let’s explore three cutting-edge CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security and CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM features that are changing the way organizations manage security risks.

CrowdStrike has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave: Cybersecurity Incident Response Services, Q2 2024. This recognition demonstrates for us our unwavering commitment to providing the technology and services organizations need to detect and eliminate threats. “A product powerhouse in detection and response tech, CrowdStrike’s unwavering mission and vision are to stop breaches,” the report states.

Last week, CISA added CVE-2024-1086 to its Known Exploited Vulnerability Catalog. CVE-2024-1086, a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel’s netfilter, was disclosed on January 31, 2024 and assigned a CVSS of 7.8 (High). If successfully exploited, it could allow threat actors to achieve local privilege escalation. While there was no evidence of active exploitation at the time of disclosure, we have since observed adversaries targeting CVE-2024-1086 in the wild.

CrowdStrike is constantly researching, working and innovating to stay at the cutting edge of threat detection and response. Recently, these efforts include EMBERSim, a large-scale dataset developed to address limitations in binary code similarity (BCS), improve malware detection and facilitate future work in this area.

Frost & Sullivan named CrowdStrike the winner of its 2024 Customer Value Leadership Award in the global cloud security industry, reinforcing our dominance in cloud security at a time when the practice has never been more critical for organizations worldwide. According to the CrowdStrike 2024 Global Threat Report, cloud intrusions grew 75% year-over-year in 2023, with adversaries becoming more focused and persistent in the cloud.
