Summary

CrowdStrike's innovative solution, CrowdScore, addresses the prevalent issue of alert fatigue in cybersecurity by providing a real-time metric that measures an organization's threat level, enabling a risk management approach to securing enterprises. Unlike traditional methods that rely on alert grouping and tuning, which can obscure critical data, CrowdScore utilizes machine intelligence to detect attacker behavior by analyzing unalerted data and relevant behavior telemetry. This approach significantly reduces the number of items requiring analysis and enhances the ability to identify and respond to advanced persistent threats that often mimic legitimate activity. By effectively distinguishing between benign and malicious activities, CrowdScore allows security operations centers to prioritize real threats, minimizing the costly impact of data breaches. The system presents contextual information in an incident workbench, enabling security analysts to visualize attack timelines and utilize response tools for efficient incident management.
