AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CrowdStrike (Nasdaq: CRWD) today introduced CrowdStrike Falcon Complete XDR, a new Managed eXtended Detection and Response (MXDR) service from the MDR and endpoint security market leader. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete XDR extends the elite expertise of its industry-leading MDR service, which includes 24/7 expert management, threat hunting, monitoring and end-to-end remediation, across all key attack surfaces to close the cybersecurity skills gap. Built on the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, CrowdStrike Falcon Complete XDR unifies human expertise with AI-powered automation and threat intelligence across security and IT categories to operationalize XDR for customers of any security maturity. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete XDR augments in-house teams of all skill levels, breaking down data and organizational silos to stop adversaries. Additionally, CrowdStrike is working with a broad ecosystem of leading partners who have built MXDR services on the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, providing customers a choice in a service delivered by CrowdStrike or managed capabilities offered by a global network of leading partners.
According to an Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) report1, 47% of organizations believe they don’t have adequate skills for security operations. In addition, there’s an estimated cybersecurity workforce gap of 3.4 million people — and it’s holding organizations back from implementing a mature security program. Meanwhile, the CrowdStrike 2023 Global Threat Report revealed that 71% of cyber attacks detected in 2022 were malware-free (up from 62% in 2021) and interactive intrusions (hands on keyboard activity) increased 50% in 2022 – outlining how sophisticated human adversaries increasingly look to evade legacy antivirus and outsmart machine-only defenses.
“With MDR, CrowdStrike pioneered the idea of creating a seamless union between the technology, human expertise and an organization’s security team to close the gap between detection and response and deliver the outcome of stopping breaches. With Managed XDR services, organizations can entrust the implementation, management, response and end-to-end remediation of advanced threats across multiple vendors and attack surfaces — all without the burden, overhead or costs of deploying and managing a 24/7 threat detection and response function on their own,” said Tom Etheridge, chief global services officer at CrowdStrike.
Partner-Delivered Managed XDR Services, Powered by CrowdStrike
Today, CrowdStrike’s partners leverage the CrowdStrike Falcon platform to deliver MXDR services to customers. This unique collaboration, which has proven successful in the MDR market, has become the hallmark of CrowdStrike’s better-together strategy for bringing the value of XDR to organizations of all sizes. Leading Global System Integrators (GSIs) and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) have taken advantage of delivering MXDR services powered by CrowdStrike, including:
“The CrowdStrike Falcon platform is quickly emerging as cybersecurity’s de facto XDR ecosystem. Our partners are foundational in helping organizations of all sizes on their XDR journeys. XDR is a team sport and our partner-friendly, customer-choice approach demonstrates our commitment,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. “Partners have the same challenges as customers, which is finding the cybersecurity staff to deliver their services. That’s where the value proposition of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete XDR becomes extremely compelling with partners, such as BT, eSentire, Eviden, Red Canary, ReliaQuest and Telefonica Tech, who are turning to us to augment their own SOCs with CrowdStrike-powered offerings.”
MDR’s Market Leader Delivers World’s Best MXDR
Ranked #1 in MDR market share by Gartner2, and recognized as a leader by IDC3 and Forrester4, CrowdStrike pioneered the MDR category with the CrowdStrike Falcon Complete offering. In the recent and first-ever MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Evaluations for Security Service Providers, which evaluated 16 MDR providers, CrowdStrike Falcon Complete achieved the highest detection coverage, detecting 75 of 76 (or 99%) adversary techniques.
With CrowdStrike Falcon Complete XDR, CrowdStrike extends these industry-leading MDR capabilities across all supported CrowdStrike Falcon modules and third-party vendors including CrowdXDR Alliance partners.
“Organizations that are looking for a follow-the-sun coverage model and full hands-on remote triage, investigation and end-to-end remediation actions should strongly consider a managed XDR service. CrowdStrike showed in the most recent IDC MarketScape on U.S. MDR that they are well-positioned to meet the needs of organizations that are looking to implement solutions that fulfill their detection and response needs, but do not have the resources to appropriately implement, operate and maintain it,” said Craig Robinson, IDC Research VP of Security Services.
