CrowdStrike
About CrowdStrike
Falcon is a cloud-based endpoint protection platform designed to help enterprises detect, manage, and remediate threats in real-time to prevent data loss. Features include event recording, alerts, prioritization, credential management, and access control.
Using the antivirus, Falcon Prevent, IT administrators can identify unknown malware or ransomware and block its spread via unpatched vulnerabilities. Network engineers can use the threat intelligence module, Falcon X to automatically investigate incidents, develop countermeasures using YARA and SNORT rules, and monitor social media, paste sites, DDoS attacks, and botnets for malicious activities. The firewall management module enables users to create, manage, enforce, and modify firewall policies.
Using the dashboard, supervisors can view all unmanaged applications running across the environment, check for encrypted hosts and track asset inventory and application usage. Security teams can monitor the vulnerability status of devices deployed on-premise or in the cloud. It also offers integration with various third-party platforms such as Akamai, Cloudflare, Illusive Networks, Okta, and more.

I've been using Crowdstrike for a couple of years and the overall experience is positive. Although I think sometimes it can be overwhelming for the high amount of features it offers, I think we are talking about one of the best cybersecurity solutions in the market. The only problem we have had during the last years is the massive outage which happened on 19th of July 2024.
Pros
- It's a cloud-based tool, which means that unlike other tools in the market, you won't need an on-premises server for managing.
- It uses a light agent easy to install on the computers, and it reports no matter if the computer is on your LAN or not.
- Unlike other tools which only work with threats signatures, Crowdstrike uses AI to prevent, detect and respond to those threats in real-time. It can detect more specific things like strange behaviours, or more advanced techniques than the common tools.
- When a detection happens, you get a great level of detail which helps you to determine if it's a real threat or not, and solve it.
Cons
- The learning curve is steeper than other solutions on the market.
- Some easy/common tasks in other solutions (like Computer Scan) are not as easy as in other tools.
- Sometimes it throws a higher amount of false positives than desired.
- Adding exceptions can be confusing.
