We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup is easy .""It is fully cloud-based, so we don't need to invest in third-party agents repeatedly.""Technical support is helpful.""Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is most valuable.""The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is its lightweight sensor, taking minimal space and not impacting server performance.""CrowdStrike utilizes signatureless technology, eliminating the need for regular signature updates on endpoint systems.""It's easy to gather insights and conduct analysis about existing threats.""The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."

"We use the solution for Zero-day protection."

Cons
"The only challenge lies in token verification.""There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage.""It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory.""Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition.""The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive.""The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing.""It gets the work done, but the main problem with the solution is that if you remediate anything, it takes 45 days for you to get any of the features displayed on the dashboard. This is the real weakness of CrowdStrike. Their customer support is also not ready to help with it. If you remediate any cloud vulnerability that they are giving you, such as removing a host from your organization, it takes around 45 days for them to remove it from their console.""The UI part needs to be improved."

    Overview

    CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is a platform of cloud security solutions aimed at protecting organizations from breaches while simplifying cloud security management. The unified platform combines several cloud security functionalities for comprehensive protection. Built on the CrowdStrike Falcon Platform, it leverages the powerful agent and technology used in CrowdStrike's renowned endpoint protection solutions, extending its capabilities seamlessly to cloud environments.

    CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is designed to be a shield for the cloud infrastructure. One of its key strengths is its ability to monitor cloud workloads for potential breaches and attacks. It doesn't matter if you're running virtual machines, containers, or a combination of both across different cloud providers – Falcon Cloud Security offers visibility and protection. Additionally, it works tirelessly to pinpoint misconfigurations or vulnerabilities in your cloud setup, proactively stopping issues before they become full-blown security incidents. Compliance becomes easier too, as it can check if your deployments meet the requirements of various industry standards and regulations.

    If you heavily utilize containers and Kubernetes, Falcon Cloud Security has you covered. It delves deep into container images and running containers to spot weaknesses and potential threats, helping you secure your containerized applications from the moment they're developed to when they're up and running. Finally, it tackles the often messy world of permissions in the cloud. Falcon Cloud Security analyzes identities and their attached permissions, ensuring that the principle of least privilege is followed and sensitive data isn't exposed due to overly broad access rights.

    In essence, CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security aims to simplify the complexities of cloud security by consolidating tools, providing a centralized view of your risks and threats, and delivering advanced protection that blends seamlessly with your development processes.

    Based on the interviews we conducted with CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security users, overall, the sentiment is positive. Users praise the solution's efficacy in detecting and preventing threats, its ease of use, scalability, stability, and integration with existing systems. There were also mentions of areas for improvement, such as the pricing, the user interface, and customer support.
