CrowdStrike, a leading cybersecurity firm, emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach to endpoint security to combat advanced adversaries rather than just advanced malware. The company critiques the traditional reliance on outdated security technologies that often result in "silent failures," where breaches go undetected for extended periods. Instead, CrowdStrike advocates for a prevention continuum that spans pre-compromise to post-compromise phases, integrating advanced detection and prevention techniques to counteract threats in real time. Their CrowdStrike Falcon® platform is designed to provide dynamic detection of Indicators of Attack (IOAs) using machine learning, exploit mitigation, and real-time endpoint activity monitoring, offering a holistic defense strategy. This approach aims to prevent adversaries from achieving their objectives and provides organizations with the necessary visibility and context to manage threats effectively, moving away from the traditional, less effective methods that have dominated the industry.
