CrowdStrike Cloud Security is also now integrated with CrowdStrike Asset Graph to provide rich cloud asset visualizations and unprecedented visibility of cloud resources
AUSTIN, Texas & LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Fal.Con 2022--CrowdStrike (Nasdaq: CRWD), a leader in cloud-delivered protection of endpoints, cloud workloads, identity and data, today announced new Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) capabilities for CrowdStrike Cloud Security, which includes new Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) features and the integration of CrowdStrike Asset Graph. CIEM enables organizations to prevent identity-based threats resulting from improperly configured cloud entitlements across cloud service providers, like Amazon Web Services (AWS), while Asset Graph provides unprecedented visibility into the attack surface in the cloud across hosts, configurations, identities and applications to stop breaches. AWS is a strategic partner of CrowdStrike, which is available on the AWS Marketplace. CIEM capabilities also extend to Microsoft Azure.
According to a Gartner® report, “75% of security failures will result from inadequate management of identities, access, and privileges [by 2023].” In order to maintain Zero Trust best practices and least-privilege principles in the cloud, compliance and security teams need tools that can help continuously enforce policies across cloud accounts and resources.
“Existing cloud security tools address specific aspects of cloud infrastructure security, but they generally lack identity and access controls. Manual methods to ensure a least-privilege approach to security just don't scale in an environment with so many identities and entitlements. By extending our CNAPP capabilities to include CIEM, we are enabling organizations to gain access to their full inventory of permissions, detect overly permissive accounts, continuously monitor activity and ensure least-privilege enforcement. Organizations can also visually understand the relationships between access and permissions with CrowdStrike Asset Graph, which is a powerful tool that we’re making available to CrowdStrike Cloud Security customers,” said Amol Kulkarni, chief product and engineering officer at CrowdStrike.
With CrowdStrike Cloud Security, organizations can:
“The one-click remediation testing feature stands out amongst the new CIEM capabilities for CrowdStrike Cloud Security. Ransomware continues to plague cloud environments. Defending against this cyber plague is much more than stopping malware execution. It is stopping the attacker that compromises credentials, moves across cloud environments, escalates privileges and exfiltrates data. One-click remediation testing is a powerful tool that can enable SOC analysts to quickly detect and remediate identity-based threats for faster, more effective response,” said Frank Dickson, group vice president, security & trust at IDC.
“With CrowdStrike Cloud Security, understanding our cloud posture and catching misconfigurations has been key to our risk mitigation strategy,” said Anthony Cunha, CISO at Mercury Financial. “We think CrowdStrike extending its CNAPP capabilities to CIEM can further enable us to prevent identity-based threats resulting from improperly configured cloud entitlements.”
CIEM capabilities and integration of CrowdStrike Asset Graph are generally available for CrowdStrike Cloud Security customers.
