Deep in Thought: Chinese Targeting of National Security Think Tanks

CrowdStrike's Falcon Host endpoint security technology has been instrumental in helping national security think tanks and human rights organizations defend against sophisticated cyber threats from state-sponsored groups like DEEP PANDA, a notorious Chinese cyber intrusion group. Operating on a pro bono basis, CrowdStrike provides these non-profits with its Falcon Host technology, which offers real-time detection and forensic visibility into adversary activities, allowing for immediate response and remediation. DEEP PANDA has targeted these organizations due to their involvement in geopolitical policy issues, initially focusing on China/Asia Pacific and later shifting to Iraq/Middle East issues following geopolitical developments such as the ISIS takeover in Iraq. Falcon Host's capabilities in detecting stealthy adversary tactics, like the use of PowerShell scripts and webshells, highlight the necessity of next-generation endpoint technology in combating advanced persistent threats without relying on static detection methods. CrowdStrike continues to offer support and resources to vulnerable organizations to enhance their cybersecurity posture against such sophisticated threats.
