New integration streamlines incident response,
providing a continuous line of defense from the network to the
workload against threat actors regardless of the attack vector
CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRWD), a leader in
cloud-delivered endpoint and workload protection, today announced
it is a Launch Partner for AWS Network Firewall, a managed service
that makes it easy to deploy essential network protections for all
of a customer’s Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (Amazon VPCs). This
integration enables customers to leverage the CrowdStrike Falcon®
platform capabilities by extending threat intelligence and
deployment automation for streamlined incident response and
simplified operations. This development further deepens the
technical collaboration between Amazon Web Services (AWS) and
CrowdStrike, a pioneer of the security cloud, to offer customers
enhanced solutions that protect workloads from the network to the
endpoint.
An increasingly complex threat environment coupled with the
widespread digital transformation that organizations have undergone
has made it necessary to institute multi-layered risk-mitigation
strategies to secure cloud workloads and endpoints. This latest
integration from CrowdStrike for AWS allows organizations to
implement a modern enterprise security approach where network-layer
protection works in conjunction with cloud workload protection
controls to defend against sophisticated threat activity. This
allows customers to build a seamless line of defense across cloud
workloads hosted in Amazon VPCs across multiple AWS accounts.
“Through our growing collaboration with AWS, CrowdStrike
continues to meet the needs of today’s cloud-first businesses by
providing critical security capabilities that leverage intelligence
feeds, threat hunting, policy controls and streamlined incident
management - all critical components of a robust cyber defense
strategy,” said Michael Sentonas, CrowdStrike’s chief technology
officer. “By integrating with AWS Network Firewall, we are enabling
organizations to implement a holistic enterprise security strategy
that provides comprehensive visibility, automation of policy and
operations and shortened time to detection, from the network to the
workload.”
“Organizations must deploy a multilayered security strategy in
order to fortify their security posture against advanced threats
from the multiple attack vectors that target their corporate
networks,” said Andrew Thomas, general manager, Perimeter
Protection, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “The integration of
CrowdStrike Falcon intelligence feeds and automation capabilities
for AWS Network Firewall advances protections for our joint
customers across their AWS footprint, by providing a continuous
line of defense from the network to the workload.”
The CrowdStrike Falcon integration with AWS Network Firewall
offers customers the ability to export domain-based indicators of
compromise (IoCs) identified through threat intelligence feeds from
the CrowdStrike Falcon platform to block nefarious network activity
related to malicious domains and domain-based exploitation
techniques. As a result, customers can accelerate their incident
response with dynamic policy creation that quickly blocks access to
known compromised domains across their AWS footprint. The
integration also enables users to proactively hunt for suspicious
activity based on specific criteria, such as industry, threat actor
or tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs), across their Falcon
managed hosts and AWS networks.
Capabilities for AWS Network Firewall:
● Dynamic Policy Creation: Leverage threat detections
from the CrowdStrike Falcon platform to construct policies that
secure AWS network traffic against known domain-based threats,
based on industry vertical, a specific threat actor or exploitation
techniques.
● Streamlined Incident Response: Create domain filtering
policies based on alerts from Falcon managed hosts to secure an
organization’s entire AWS footprint.
● Proactive Threat Hunting: Proactively hunt for threat
activity across Falcon managed and unmanaged workloads in AWS
accounts by creating firewall policies.
Amazon Linux 2 Ready designation
CrowdStrike, an AWS Advanced Technology Partner, has also
achieved the Amazon Linux 2 Ready designation, part of the AWS
Service Ready Program. This designation recognizes that the
CrowdStrike Falcon platform has been validated to run on and
support Amazon Linux 2. Shared customers can seamlessly deploy
Falcon sensor and secure AWS workloads running on Linux 2 with
Falcon Cloud Workload Protection product suite.
In addition to the integration for AWS Network Firewall, and the
Amazon Linux 2 Ready designation, CrowdStrike recently announced
expanded support for AWS Workloads and Container Deployments,
including compute services AWS Graviton, Amazon Workspaces,
Bottlerocket, and cloud services AWS PrivateLink and AWS Control
Tower. CrowdStrike also introduced Falcon Horizon and Falcon for
AWS, which provides cloud security posture management and cloud
workload protection, an integration with Amazon GuardDuty, which
protects against vulnerabilities, malicious activity, and
unauthorized behavior, and participated in the launch of AWS
Security Hub. CrowdStrike has also achieved AWS Security Competency
status and is available in the AWS Marketplace.
