CrowdStrike Falcon Wins AV-Comparatives Awards for EDR Detection and Mac Security

AV-Comparatives, an independent cybersecurity software testing organization, has released the results of two key evaluations of enterprise security solutions. The CrowdStrike Falcon cybersecurity platform achieved the EDR Detection Certification in AV-Comparatives’ inaugural 2025 EDR Detection Validation Test and the AV-Comparatives 2025 Mac Approved Security Award. This independent validation confirms the Falcon platform’s ability to stop breaches across the modern enterprise.

How EDR evasion is changing threat detection

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) have become integral to modern SecOps architecture and threat detection capabilities. However, the urgency of the situation is clear—attackers are deploying increasingly sophisticated techniques to bypass threat detection centered on these systems.

Edge exploits, EDR blind spots, 51-second breakouts

For every advancement in defense, attackers supply the equal and opposite adaptation. In the last few years EDRs have become so effective that adversaries have radically shifted gears. That shift shows up unmistakably in three heavyweight reports—Verizon’s DBIR, Mandiant’s M-Trends, and CrowdStrike’s Global Threat Report. Here’s how I’m stitching their data together.

How to Start a Career as a Cybersecurity Analyst Without Experience

The demand for cybersecurity analysts has skyrocketed in recent years, driven by the increasing need for organizations to protect sensitive data and prevent cyber threats. Many aspiring professionals wonder how to become a cyber security analyst when they don't have prior experience in the field. The good news is that while cybersecurity can seem like a complex and intimidating career path, there are clear, achievable steps you can take to break into the industry - even if you're starting from scratch.

Less noise, more signal: How Elastic Defend slashed event volume

When an EDR tool generates too much endpoint telemetry, security teams quickly run into problems. Mountains of process events, network connections, and file operations can overwhelm analysts, making it harder to spot real threats in the noise. High data volumes drive up storage costs, slow down searches, and contribute to alert fatigue — leading to longer investigation times and potential blind spots.

A Complete Guide to Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)

Cyber threats aren’t slowing down—and endpoints are often the first target. That’s why having strong visibility and control at the device level has never been more important. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is key in today’s security strategies. It helps teams spot, investigate, and respond to threats in real time—before they turn into bigger problems.

Securing Endpoints with MITRE ATT&CK: From Theory to Practice

MITRE ATT&CK has become the go-to knowledge base for understanding how attackers operate since 2013. The framework’s 12 tactical categories map out attack stages from original access to final impact. Security teams can spot and block threats at multiple points before any damage occurs. This piece shows how companies can utilize MITRE ATT&CK’s framework to boost their EDR.

How do EDR tools improve cyber security and threat response?

To keep pace with the scale and sophistication of cyber threats, organizations are re-evaluating how they secure the most common attack surface the endpoint. From laptops and servers to mobile devices, endpoints serve as entry points into business-critical systems. This is why Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools are fast becoming a foundational layer in modern cyber defence strategies.

Why is EDR not enough: Transition from EDR to XDR solution

Various studies reveal a startling fact: endpoint devices are the source of 90% of successful cyber-attacks and 70% of data breaches1. These numbers emphasize why modern cybersecurity strategies must carefully weigh the choice between XDR vs EDR. Endpoint detection and response (EDR) has served as the life-blood of security frameworks.
