CrowdStrike's recent updates highlight its strategic advancements in cybersecurity, focusing on cloud security, threat detection, and exposure management. The company emphasizes the importance of external attack surface management (EASM) in securing cloud environments, as cloud exploitation and misconfigurations present significant risks. EASM helps organizations maintain comprehensive visibility of their digital assets, prioritize risks, and mitigate potential threats. By integrating EASM with Falcon Cloud Security, CrowdStrike offers a unified platform that provides both agent-based and agentless protection, enhancing an organization's ability to safeguard its cloud assets against breaches. This approach underscores the necessity for real-time monitoring and proactive security measures in the evolving landscape of cloud-based threats, as evidenced by the rise in cloud exploitation incidents reported in the CrowdStrike 2023 Global Threat Report.
