CrowdStrike is excited to announce the general availability of CrowdStrike Falcon Identity Protection for Microsoft Entra ID, unifying prevention, detection and response to identity-based attacks across hybrid environments. This builds on our existing protection for leading cloud-based identity providers, on-premises Active Directory, and SaaS applications.

The AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon platform is built to detect and protect against even the most advanced attacks. And as new research shows, it can further strengthen defenses when integrated with modern enterprise PC hardware.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the number of data sources you manage with your SIEM? How do you piece together different pieces of the puzzle like SOAR, threat intelligence, and security tools for endpoint, cloud, or identity? Do you actually know which tools are strengthening your security posture, and which are just adding more complexity?

Sensitive data theft is among adversaries’ most common goals. For defenders, data exfiltration can lead to the compromise of customer data, public exposure of trade secrets, and potentially permanent business and reputational damage. Victims of data exfiltration may also face legal issues for non-compliance with data protection laws. This must be a top concern for businesses.

AI has become both a powerful ally and a formidable weapon in today’s cybersecurity landscape. While AI enables security teams to detect and neutralize threats with unmatched speed and precision, adversaries are equally quick to exploit its potential with increasingly sophisticated and automated attacks. This duality has created an arms race in which organizations must not only adopt AI but continually innovate to stay ahead.

Last month, during testimony on global cyber threats before the U.S. Committee on Homeland Security, a longstanding debate resurfaced: Why do vendors name different cyber threat actors, and can’t we directly call out those responsible? Industry veterans will recognize that a discourse on this topic tends to pop up in vendor, media, and public policy circles every few years.

Organizations today battle an ever-evolving cyber threat landscape, yet many security teams struggle to keep pace due to a critical skills gap and limited access to high-quality training. As teams are expected to do more with fewer resources, cybersecurity education is essential. At CrowdStrike, we’re committed to breaking down these barriers.
