Stop Ransomware Over SMB with Falcon Endpoint Security: Demo Drill Down

Ransomware is evolving—and it's targeting your blind spots. Attackers now encrypt files remotely over SMB shares using stolen credentials and unmanaged systems, bypassing traditional defenses.

CrowdStrike closes this gap with File System Containment, a powerful Falcon Endpoint Security feature that detects ransomware-style behaviors like mass encryption and blocks destructive file actions instantly—directly at the endpoint, without relying on cloud checks or process termination.

• In this demo, watch the Falcon platform stop Akira ransomware launched from a compromised, unmanaged host over SMB.
• ✔️ Detection is immediate.
• ✔️ Containment is local and automatic.
• ✔️ Alerts include full context—source IP, user identity, and more.

Enable File System Containment with a single click in the Falcon console.
No delays. No complexity. Just smarter, faster ransomware protection.
