CrowdStrike Adds New Features to Its Falcon Platform to Better Secure Cloud Risks. The Focus Is on AI Models, Runtime Data, SaaS Applications, and Hybrid Identities
CrowdStrike Announces Several New Features in Its Security Platform at the RSA Conference in San Francisco. The Common Thread at the Event Is Now Clear: Security Specialists Want to Offer Extra Security Focused on AI. Cisco and Palo Alto Networks Are Already Investing in This, and CrowdStrike’s Ambition Is No Different
Falcon Cloud
The First Improvements Relate to the Falcon Cloud Security Suite. With AI Model Scanning and an AI Security Dashboard, the Company Aims to Detect Threats Early in AI Workloads. AI Model Scanning Analyzes AI Models Before They Become Operational to Detect Hidden Malware, Backdoors, or Manipulated Components. This Is Done in Container Environments, Supported by Their Own Threat Intelligence and the ExPRT.AI System
The AI Security Dashboard Provides an Overview of All AI Workloads in the Cloud. Security Teams Can Use This Dashboard to Detect Unauthorized AI Projects and Enforce Policies. They Can Also Track Which Sensitive Data Is Being Used in Training Models
Cloud, Data, and SaaS
In Addition to AI Security, CrowdStrike Introduces New Capabilities to Protect Data, Identities, and SaaS Applications. With Falcon Data Protection for Cloud, the Company Aims to Secure Cloud Data During Runtime. The Technology Uses eBPF to Block Unauthorized Access in Real-Time, Reportedly Without Impact on Performance
The SaaS Threat Services Provide an Assessment of Risks in SaaS Applications and Detect Active Threats. This Gives Organizations More Control Over Their Cloud-Native Applications. For Access Management, CrowdStrike Falcon Privileged Access Is Introduced. This System Uses Just-in-Time Decisions for Access Rights to Avoid Permanent Access to Sensitive Systems
Finally, There Are the New Pulse Services. These Are Designed to Help Organizations Detect Configuration Errors in Cloud Environments, Better Manage Identities, and Reduce Attack Vectors
