CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security

We mostly use CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security  for different clients across the globe, and we have installed all the agents on most machines to monitor each and every employee, along with laptops and servers in AWS . We are the core monitoring staff with a SOC where we monitor for viruses, malware, and to remove harmful files. Our primary use cases involve monitoring miscellaneous activities.

I have been using CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security 's workload protection features because it's a very lightweight agent. Its detection speed is remarkable compared to other tools on the market, including Trend Micro. CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is user-friendly and provides detection transparency, allowing us to present real-time documentation to our executives clearly explaining any detected issues.

Workload protection features influence our security strategy significantly, particularly by blocking any suspicious activities on public-facing servers and generating immediate notifications for us to act upon. It helps in quickly identifying whether potential issues need to be whitelisted or blocked, and assists in troubleshooting when applications trigger false alerts due to bugs.

The most valuable capabilities of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security relate to preventing attacks caused by human error, such as when someone plugs in a USB device or downloads something without caution. It automatically blocks duplication and activities that could result in data loss, effectively preventing unintended copying of data to personal devices.

Deduplication prevention is definitely the most valuable feature.

CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security excels in threat detection with a vast investigation structure, allowing us to verify suspicious activities to identify root causes. It helps us trace back to the origin and fix issues, making it a user-friendly tool for this kind of detection.

CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is built on AI and ML technology, enabling it to detect various threats and block suspicious activities immediately, which is particularly effective compared to traditional AVs and EDRs.

The analytics provided by CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is key for maintaining a proactive security posture. Its AI and ML foundations offer extensive information on threats and suspicious activities, making it renowned for analysis in the industry.

The improvements needed for CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security include reducing its high cost, which is currently quite expensive, and enhancing the executive reports that are user-friendly for technical engineers but require improvement for higher management.

More detailed and granular reports would be beneficial for better executive comprehension.

I have been using CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security for more than eight to nine years, but for the past two years, I have not been using it much because I moved into a different domain.

When evaluating the stability of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security, their partnerships with all major cloud service providers ensure their servers are optimally positioned, leading to no latency or stability issues that I have observed.

CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is indeed highly scalable, ideally for enterprises with a minimum of 2,000 servers to ensure cost efficiency and easier setup.

CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is primarily suited for larger enterprises and not for small or medium companies.

I have a very good in-house team of about 20 to 30 people working with CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security, and we maintain excellent communication with their technical support, resolving any issues immediately without complaints on technical aspects or delays.

Based on my experience with CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security's technical support, I would rate them a solid 10 out of 10.

Positive

With 19 years of experience in the industrial field, I have also used technologies such as BigFix , Ivanti, Qualys, and I am considering reviewing Tenable, Ivanti Endpoint Manager , Ivanti Security Control, Tanium , and others, including HCL BigFix  and Qualys Patch Management .

I participated in the initial setup and deployment of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security.

The implementation plan I typically follow involves multiple installation methods, one being agentless via AD to push agents, and the other using patching tools such as Ivanti and BigFix. This process can take around 15 to 20 days for 2,000 to 3,000 servers or endpoints due to its user-friendly cloud-based configuration.

During the initial setup, I faced some false alerts due to older versions of some applications we used, which may exhibit atypical behavior. Normalizing these false alerts generally takes around one to two weeks after the initial installation to resolve and ensure smooth operation.

Our company has a partnership with CrowdStrike, so we are one of their partners, and that is how we acquired CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security. I bought it directly from CrowdStrike.

Some of our customers purchase CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security directly from CrowdStrike while others purchase it via AWS Marketplace  or other marketplaces.

More than 12 million vulnerabilities have been identified and resolved while working with CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security over the past 10 years, which I have been monitoring diligently. This figure reflects the work done not only by me but also collectively with about four customers in one single console, giving a complete picture of our efforts.

The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is currently quite high, which is an area that needs improvement, particularly for the executive reports that are user-friendly for technical engineers but require enhancement for higher management.

I use CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security internally in my company. CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is recognized for its reliability, and I can guarantee they are very reliable. My overall rating for CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is 8 out of 10.
