CrowdStrike Falcon® Stops Modern Identity-Based Attacks in Chrome

CrowdStrike has developed robust defensive capabilities against a novel technique for extracting sensitive data from Chromium browser memory, as recently researched by CyberArk Labs. This technique involves leveraging existing access to a targeted system to extract valid authentication tokens, potentially enabling identity-based attacks that bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA). CrowdStrike's Falcon platform has been equipped to detect and prevent such attacks by implementing machine learning and behavior-based indicators to identify malicious processes attempting to access browser memory. This aligns with the company's emphasis on a unified security approach that enforces Zero Trust principles and strengthens identity protection across enterprises. With identity-driven breaches on the rise, CrowdStrike emphasizes the importance of using its Falcon platform's comprehensive protection features to stop attackers in real time, thereby safeguarding organizations against sophisticated threats.
