CrowdStrike Boosts Cybersecurity with AI-Powered Falcon Exposure Management

CrowdStrike announced new CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management innovations, accelerating cybersecurity consolidation by eliminating outdated vulnerability management tools and extending AI-powered risk prioritization to network assets. The general availability of the Network Vulnerability Assessment capability enables security teams to identify and remediate high-risk vulnerabilities in network devices, including routers, switches and firewalls, in real time - without additional scanners, agents or hardware.

The single-agent architecture of the CrowdStrike Falcon cybersecurity platform empowers organizations to replace legacy vulnerability management tools with a single click, consolidating security operations on the Falcon platform and modernizing static, CVSS-based risk models with an adversary-driven approach. Falcon Exposure Management customers receive free scanning for up to 10% of assets to immediately experience the benefits of AI-powered, platform-driven exposure management.

“For too long, organizations have had to rely on hardware-dependent, difficult-to-deploy solutions with outdated risk models and static CVSS scores, requiring external threat feeds to even attempt prioritization. With the Falcon platform, everything is built in natively - the industry’s richest adversary intelligence, patented AI, and a lightweight agent adapted as a network scanner - allowing teams to extend adversary-based risk mitigation to network devices with a single click, meeting the demand for even greater consolidation on CrowdStrike,” said Elia Zaitsev, Chief Technology Officer, CrowdStrike. 

Falcon Exposure Management prioritizes vulnerabilities based on adversary activity and real-world attack paths, allowing security teams to identify and mitigate risks before they lead to a breach. By understanding how attackers exploit multiple vulnerabilities in sequence, teams can reduce critical vulnerabilities by up to 98%. 

 

With Network Vulnerability Assessment, CrowdStrike extends these capabilities to assets discovered over the network, providing comprehensive risk visibility, prioritization and automated remediation across the entire attack surface, without requiring additional scanners, agents or hardware. This brings another crucial aspect of modern security to the Falcon platform, helping organizations accelerate consolidation and eliminate the costs and complexity of managing numerous disjointed tools.

Network Vulnerability Assessment is now generally available as part of Falcon Exposure Management. All customers receive free scanning for up to 10% of their asset count with no additional setup required.
