Crowdstrike today expanded its Falcon cybersecurity platform with the launch of Falcon Privileged Accessa new functionality integrated into Falcon Identity Protection that reinforces the defense against attacks aimed at identity. With this movement, the company takes another step in its unified protection strategy against threats that exploit credentials and privileged access.
Crowdstrike’s proposal focuses on offering comprehensive security throughout the life cycle of identity attacks, from the initial intrusion to the privilege escalation and the lateral movement. Falcon Privileged Access, supported by real -time signals and an AI trained in billions of security events, allows you to grant or revoke accesses dynamically according to the risk detected in user and device behavior.
“Identity is suffering constant attacks, and cybercriminals go direct to castle keys: access with privileges,” he explains Michael Sentonaspresident of Crowdstrike. “With Falcon Privileged Access we eliminate persistent privileges and make decisions in real time based on risks. This new functionality establishes a new standard in the protection of end -to -end identities.”
The context is not less: according to company data, 79% of initial access attacks do not involve malwarebut they rely on techniques such as credentials or personnel handling for unauthorized access. Groups like Scattered Spider either Famous Chollima They have perfected these tactics, mocking traditional controls to penetrate corporate networks.
Falcon: identity -based threats
Among the novelties are also improvements in response automation with Charlotte Ai Agentic Detection Triagewhich automatically classifies detections with 98% precision, and advanced capabilities in the New Generation Siegeallowing acting more quickly and efficiently against threats. The platform also integrates the system Falcon Fusion Soarwhich automates key actions such as deactivating compromised accounts or reinforcing multifactor authentication.
In addition, Crowdstrike has announced Press Servicesa new continuous advice program aimed at helping organizations optimize their safety position in hybrid environments. These brief and results -oriented sessions allow equipment to identify configuration failures, strengthen access policies and apply the minimum privilege principle.
