How CrowdStrike Hunts, Identifies and Defeats Cloud-Focused Threats

CrowdStrike's recent initiatives highlight the company's advancements in cybersecurity, focusing on cloud and identity security, threat intelligence, and vulnerability management. They have introduced innovations such as next-gen identity security and unified data protection to prevent data leaks and improve security across cloud environments. Their Threat AI, the first agentic threat intelligence system, aims to enhance threat detection and response capabilities. The 2024 Threat Hunting Report emphasizes the growing threat of cloud-focused adversaries like SCATTERED SPIDER and COZY BEAR, who exploit multiple domains, including cloud services, for data theft and persistent access. CrowdStrike's Falcon Adversary OverWatch plays a crucial role in identifying and combating these threats through expanded visibility and cloud-based threat hunting, which enhances security teams' ability to detect and respond to malicious activities. The company also emphasizes the importance of comprehensive cloud resource management and the application of consistent security policies across cloud and endpoint environments to protect against sophisticated cyber threats.
