CrowdStrike's recent insights highlight its recognition as a leader in various cybersecurity segments, including the Forrester Wave™ for Managed Detection and Response Services and the IDC MarketScape for Incident Response Services. The company is actively advancing its cybersecurity capabilities by developing machine learning models to counter evasive malware and enhancing AI-driven security measures to tackle the expanding attack surfaces. The manufacturing industry faces significant threats, with a notable increase in targeted intrusions involving both state-sponsored and eCrime adversaries, including those deploying novel techniques and big game hunting activities. CrowdStrike's Falcon OverWatch team has observed a trend of adversaries exploiting vulnerabilities at scale, employing living-off-the-land tactics, and utilizing data extortion alongside ransomware attacks. These findings underscore the necessity for vigilant threat hunting and robust vulnerability management to address the evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats, particularly in industries like manufacturing that are frequently targeted.
