Cyber security continues to be one of the biggest concerns for companies, as cyber attacks evolve and become increasingly sophisticated.
Against this backdrop, CrowdStrike, one of our largest cybersecurity partners, has emerged as a global leader, having been named a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ 2024 for Endpoint Protection Platforms for the fifth consecutive year.
This distinction reinforces CrowdStrike’s ongoing commitment to providing innovative and effective solutions for protecting endpoints against virtual attacks.
Endpoint Protection Platforms
An Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) combines various security technologies, such as antivirus, encryption and data loss prevention, in a single device to prevent and detect security threats, such as file-based malware attacks and malicious activities. They also have the ability to provide investigation and remediation in response to dynamic security incidents. Advanced EPP solutions use various detection techniques and are mainly managed and assisted by cloud data.
Endpoint protection solutions prevent breaches by aggregating large amounts of endpoint data and applying the best tools, including artificial intelligence (AI), behavioural analysis, threat intelligence and human threat proxies. Effective solutions must take advantage of this massive data in order to continuously anticipate the detection of the next threat.
The CrowdStrike Falcon® platform is a cloud-native EPP solution built on a radical new architecture designed for modern companies.
Key benefits of CrowdStrike Falcon
- Cloud-based protection: By running in the cloud, CrowdStrike Falcon enables rapid deployment and management, without the need for complex on-site infrastructures. In addition, this approach allows the platform to be constantly updated, ensuring that endpoints are always protected against the latest threats.
- Advanced AI and Machine Learning: Falcon uses artificial intelligence to detect suspicious patterns and prevent attacks before they occur. Its AI engine analyses vast amounts of data continuously to identify new types of threats that can bypass traditional defences.
- Real-time prevention and detection: With a real-time response capability, Falcon is able to block attacks as they happen, offering an additional layer of security that goes beyond simple prevention.
- Simplified management and total visibility: The platform offers a centralised view of all protected devices, making it easier for IT teams to manage security. This is essential for companies with many distributed endpoints or which have adopted remote working.
- Automated response and orchestration: In the event of an incident, Falcon offers automated response tools, which minimise damage and speed up system recovery.
