CrowdStrike Falcon Identity Protection: A Unified Platform for Security

CrowdStrike Falcon offers the industry's only unified platform for identity protection and endpoint security. With this innovative solution, organizations can experience up to 85 percent faster response times and more efficient, cost-effective operations. The key concept behind Falcon is that organizations don't just have a malware problem, but rather an adversary problem.

One of the adversaries highlighted is Bright Spider, a sophisticated threat actor known for leveraging credential theft tactics to carry out ransomware campaigns. Bright Spider often uses phishing attacks to deliver Mimikatz, a prevalent Windows exploit used to steal credentials from unsuspecting users. However, with Falcon in place, these attempts can be effectively blocked.

Adversary Tactics: Credential Theft and Ransomware Campaigns

------------------------------------------------------------

Attackers like Bright Spider are relentless in their pursuit of valuable credentials. Once they obtain valid login information, they can wreak havoc on an organization's network. Falcon Identity Protection plays a crucial role in thwarting these attacks by automatically triggering multi-factor authentication requests, effectively stopping adversaries like Bright Spider in their tracks.

Enhanced Security Measures: Endpoint Detection and Response

-----------------------------------------------------------

Within the Falcon console, organizations can review endpoint detections for threats like Mimikatz. An automated workflow in Falcon Fusion kicks into action, adding targeted users and endpoints to an identity watch list. This proactive measure helps enforce security policies and ensures that any suspicious activity is closely monitored.

By correlating endpoint and identity data, Falcon Identity Protection can promptly trigger MFA requests, preventing unauthorized access attempts. This seamless integration of security measures ensures that even sophisticated adversaries like Bright Spider are unable to bypass critical security checkpoints.

Preventing Unauthorized Access: Closing Gaps in Identity Attack Surface

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Organizations can proactively identify and address vulnerabilities in their identity attack surface, which are often exploited by threat actors like Bright Spider. By gaining visibility into compromised passwords, overprivileged accounts, and service account misuse, organizations can strengthen their defenses before they fall victim to an attack.

With Falcon Identity Protection, organizations can stop identity-based attacks in real-time, safeguarding their assets both on-premises and in the cloud. By unifying endpoint security and identity protection, Falcon offers complete protection against modern threats, ensuring that adversaries are unable to abuse valid credentials for malicious purposes.

Conclusion: Comprehensive Protection Against Modern Threats
