The endpoint landscape is constantly changing, and yesterday’s solutions can’t solve tomorrow’s problems. Despite regulatory and administrative requirements, the public sector continues to be attacked and exploited by sophisticated threat actors. The fragmentation of security resources leaves federal, state and local agencies constantly fighting fires throughout the enterprise. Unfortunately, this reactive approach to threat detection and prevention leaves enterprises exposed, particularly once adversaries breach your agency’s outer defenses.

While agencies are retaining more critical and sensitive information than ever before, vulnerable legacy security solutions are still widely employed in public sector organizations, applying yesterday’s solutions to tomorrow’s problems. The existence of these legacy security solutions, combined with a massive human capital deficit, has exposed the public sector as a particularly attractive target for threat actors.

To meet the challenge of today’s sophisticated adversaries, CrowdStrike® focuses on revolutionizing endpoint protection by creating an entirely new platform and architecture from the ground up. The Falcon Platform is a Cloud-delivered endpoint protection platform, powered by AI and delivers the protection every agency needs to prevent all types of modern attacks while significantly reducing the cost of operating security infrastructures.

To reinvent endpoint protection, CrowdStrike unifies five crucial elements: Next-Generation AV, Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), IT Hygiene, 24/7 Managed Hunting services, and Threat Intelligence. This entire platform is uniquely delivered via the cloud in a single integrated solution. This innovative combination of solutions stops breaches by preventing and responding to all attack types — both malware and fileless.

Next-Generation Antivirus - Falcon Prevent

Falcon Prevent provides a new generation of prevention features, capable of defeating new tools and techniques used by attackers and filling the gap left by legacy antivirus solutions that primarily focus on malware. Falcon Prevent uniquely combines an array of powerful methods to provide prevention against the rapidly changing tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) used by adversaries to breach organizations – including commodity malware, zero-day malware and even advanced malware-free attacks.

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) - Falcon Insight

CrowdStrike® Falcon Insight™ eliminates silent failure by providing the highest level of real-time monitoring capabilities that span across detection, response and forensics. This ensures nothing is missed, leaving attackers with no place to hide. Falcon Insight provides organizations with state-of-the-art endpoint detection and response (EDR), following an approach recommended by top analyst firms such as Gartner.

Network Monitoring & IT Hygiene - Falcon Discover

Organizations need the complete visibility provided by Falcon Discover™, a security hygiene solution that allows you to identify unauthorized systems and applications in real time across your environment and remediate issues quickly to improve your overall security posture. Falcon Discover is powered by the Falcon agent and the CrowdStrike® cloud to deliver visibility without affecting endpoint performance.

24/7 Managed Hunting Services - Falcon Overwatch

A managed threat hunting service built on the Crowdstrike Falcon® platform, providing an additional layer of oversight and analysis to ensure that threats don’t get missed, and ultimately to prevent the mega breach.

Threat Intelligence - Falcon X

Falcon X™ automates the threat analysis process and delivers actionable intelligence and custom IOCs specifically tailored for the threats encountered on your endpoints. With this level of automation, you can stop picking and choosing which threats to analyze and start analyzing all threats. Falcon X combines the tools used by world-class cyber threat investigators into a seamless solution and performs the investigations automatically. The integrated tool set includes malware analysis and malware search and is enriched with threat intelligence. Falcon X enables all teams, regardless of size or sophistication, to understand better, respond faster and proactively get ahead of the attacker’s next move.

Falcon on GovCloud

Moving critical capabilities such as endpoint security into the cloud requires careful consideration of a wide range of privacy and security assurances. Each Falcon component is tailored for securing the U.S. ensuring continuous compliance with the most stringent cybersecurity regulatory requirements without hindering end-user productivity — all through one, end-to-end solution.
