CrowdStrike Inc., a proven provider in cloud-delivered endpoint protection, announced today at AWS re:Invent 2018 that CrowdStrike Falcon is an Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) Partner Network (APN) Launch Partner for the new AWS Security Hub.
With
threat telemetry at scale, processing over 1 trillion events a week,
CrowdStrike Falcon is an effective tool designed for threat detection
and response across a variety of endpoints. CrowdStrike Falcon, built
natively on the cloud, is designed to also natively provide protection
for the cloud, leveraging both artificial intelligence (AI) and
behavioral-based detections. With integrated threat analysis,
CrowdStrike Falcon provides a combination of intelligence and security
alerts to accelerate incident response, deliver enriched context,
streamline the investigative process and drive more accurate security
responses.
For
years, organizations have struggled to effectively combine the
capabilities of their SOCs with those of the cloud security teams and
close the gaps in point products that are unable to visualize threats
and compliance issues in cloud workloads. CrowdStrike provides a
comprehensive solution designed to further enhance the security of
workloads running on the already secure AWS, and address the compliance
needs of DevSecOps teams using AWS Security Hub. Customers are able to
leverage CrowdStrike Falcon as their security tool for workloads running
on AWS and, combined with AWS Security Hub, allow for centralized and
automated management of threat alerts from AWS services.
AWS
Security Hub is designed to provide users with a comprehensive view of
their high-priority security alerts and compliance status by
aggregating, organizing, and prioritizing alerts or findings from
multiple AWS services, such as Amazon GuardDuty, Amazon Inspector, and
Amazon Macie as well as from APN security solutions. The findings are
then visually summarized on integrated dashboards with actionable graphs
and tables.
"Organizations
often struggle to simplify the management of their security tools,
while increasing their abilities to cross-leverage capabilities between
their security operations teams and the cloud security teams.
CrowdStrike Falcon was built from the ground up as an open platform that
enables rich integrations with services like AWS Security Hub. With
today's announcement, CrowdStrike allows customers to see and manage the
security of workloads running on AWS through AWS Security Hub while
benefiting from the native cloud protection provided by CrowdStrike
Falcon with no installations or additional management needed," said Amol
Kulkarni, chief product officer of CrowdStrike.
"We
are excited to have CrowdStrike as an APN Launch Partner for AWS
Security Hub," said Dan Plastina, vice president, Security Services,
Amazon Web Services, Inc. "They continue to apply their technology to
help customers advance and streamline security operations and expand the
capabilities of security cloud teams. We look forward to continuing to
empower CrowdStrike to offer customers enhanced security capabilities
with seamless integrations."
With
open APIs, the CrowdStrike Falcon platform is designed to easily
integrate with solution providers to enhance value to customers. This is
the latest in a series of high-quality offerings that extend the access
to CrowdStrike Falcon. Earlier this year, CrowdStrike announced the
availability of Falcon Discover on AWS,
a solution integrated in Falcon DiscoverTM that delivers proven IT cloud
hygiene features across workloads running on AWS, allowing for advanced
visibility into Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). CrowdStrike
recently earned AWS Security Competency status, validating the value
Falcon Discover provides on AWS to security operations teams for
customers with workloads running on AWS like Pokémon Company
International.
