CrowdStrike Falcon is a unified, cloud-based cybersecurity platform designed to protect endpoints, workloads, data and identities against modern threats. It is primarily aimed at large enterprises, government organisations and IT service providers operating in hybrid or multi-cloud environments. Thanks to its single lightweight agent, it delivers proactive detection, rapid incident response and complete visibility across the entire IT estate. Its key strengths include highly effective real-time protection, advanced automated detection and extensibility through specialised modules.

What are the main features of CrowdStrike Falcon?

A single agent for broad coverage

CrowdStrike Falcon is built around a universal agent that simplifies security deployment and management:

• A single agent for workstations, servers, cloud environments and remote devices

• Reduced operational complexity

• Fast deployment with no noticeable impact on system performance

Real-time, AI-powered protection

The detection engine relies on AI models trained on trillions of data points:

• Behavioural analysis to detect unknown and emerging attacks

• Automated threat prevention before execution

• Continuous improvement through machine learning

Automated response and investigation

The platform includes advanced automation, combined with generative AI capabilities:

• Automatic investigation of security alerts

• Orchestrated incident response using customisable scripts

• Significant reduction in mean time to detect and respond (MTTD/MTTR)

Full visibility across endpoints and workloads

CrowdStrike Falcon provides deep monitoring of the IT environment:

• Centralised visibility into network, system and user activity

• Proactive detection of abnormal behaviour, including within containers

• In-depth analysis of multi-cloud environments

Specialised modules for targeted protection

The platform can be extended with add-on modules tailored to specific needs:

• Falcon Discover: visibility into devices, software and user accounts

• Container Security: real-time monitoring and detection in containerised environments

• GCP Workload Protection: integrated security for workloads running on Google Cloud Platform
