The Platform:

CrowdStrike Falcon is a two-component security product. One component is a "sensor", which is a lightweight agent installed on client machines that observes system activity and recognizes malicious behavior, then provides on-box prevention capability and remote telemetry to the Falcon cloud. The cloud component aggregates sensor telemetry for each customer's network, can correlate malicious behavior across multiple machines, and presents our customers' operations teams with a prioritized summary of the threats detected in their environments.

Falcon Spotlight is the industry's first scanless endpoint vulnerability assessment solution, delivering real-time, zero-impact assessments of endpoint security posture.
