CrowdStrike differentiates itself with a
multilayered approach to strategic advisory and incident response
services to help organizations stay ahead of cyber threats
CrowdStrike® Inc., the leader in cloud-delivered endpoint
protection, today announced it is positioned as a Leader in the IDC
MarketScape: U.S. Incident Readiness, Response, and Resiliency
Services: Beyond the Big 5 Consultancies 2018 Vendor Assessment
(doc #US44257117, September 2018).
According to the IDC MarketScape assessment, CrowdStrike
leverages its intelligence-led incident response (IR) approach and
understanding of adversary tactics and techniques to identify
security gaps within its client organizations and to advise
executives on the development of security strategies to improve
detection, prevention, response and remediation capabilities. As
the IDC assessment states, “CrowdStrike is a privately held
provider of proactive security services and one of the most rapidly
growing companies in this space. The company serves a fairly wide
spread of customer types and verticals.”
CrowdStrike Services specializes in two main areas: Proactive
Advisory Services and IR. CrowdStrike’s strategic advisory service
offerings cover a spectrum of tactical and strategic assessments
resulting in guidance that provides clients with actionable
intelligence and customized recommendations derived from previous
engagements with CrowdStrike’s growing customer base and the team’s
deep knowledge of the threat landscape and breach response
effectiveness.
In the wake of a security-related event, CrowdStrike IR
Services’ unique approach and methodology for response enable rapid
visibility across the affected client’s infrastructure, establish
preventative controls to stem the spread and impact of an active
attack, and set forward the tooling to take corrective actions on
infected systems to contain the threat and mitigate the damage.
This rich visibility allows the response team to pinpoint adversary
activity, motivations and techniques, tactics and procedures (TTPs)
to help better anticipate future cyber threats and provide
attribution when possible. CrowdStrike is hailed by the IDC
MarketScape as “one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S.
incident readiness, response, and resiliency services market...and
uses its size and flexibility to its advantage.”
CrowdStrike Services differentiates itself with its use of the
CrowdStrike Falcon® platform, the leading AI-enabled, cloud-based
endpoint protection platform in the industry and its threat
intelligence. Falcon Intelligence collects data from over 116
global adversary groups, while the cloud-based data collection of
the CrowdStrike Threat Graph™ correlates over 1 trillion security
events a week from across the globe to immediately prevent and
detect threats. CrowdStrike also incorporates powerful
signatureless machine learning algorithms and Indicators-of-Attack
(IoA) based threat prevention to identify and block known and
unknown threats. This leading combination gives the CrowdStrike
Services team the ability to stay one step ahead of cyber
threats.
“We built the CrowdStrike Services team to respond to security
incidents and provide clients with the most comprehensive and
customized analysis, as every environment and incident is unique,”
said Shawn Henry, CrowdStrike chief security officer and president
of CrowdStrike Services. “CrowdStrike leverages an
intelligence-based approach, amplified by the power of the
CrowdStrike Falcon platform, which leads to faster remediation and
actionable insights to stop the current attack, and prevent future
ones. We believe this validation from the IDC MarketScape
demonstrates we are setting the new standard in IR and resiliency
services.”
“Organizations today constantly face a variety of sophisticated
threats and stealthy adversaries who seek to pilfer critical data
and stall business operations. CrowdStrike’s strategic advisory
proactive services and incident response methods help to prepare
organizations to combat today’s ever-evolving cyber threats,” said
Christina Richmond, IDC program vice president, Worldwide Security
Services. “CrowdStrike provides customers excellent visibility into
their infrastructure through continuous monitoring of known
adversary activity thereby strengthening their ability to
anticipate future attacks.”
The deep technical expertise of the Services team and technology
agnostic capabilities of the Falcon platform ensure that customers
are protected 24/7/365. As such, CrowdStrike offers a warranty on
its Falcon Complete solution of up to $1 million if a breach occurs
within the protected environment, giving customers ultimate peace
of mind.
