CrowdStrike is revolutionising cloud security by offering a unified platform designed to secure the entire cloud estate from code to cloud. This single platform, Falcon Cloud Security, integrates cloud workload protection (CWP), cloud security posture management (CSPM), cloud identity entitlement management (CIEM), and application security posture management (ASPM), delivering unparalleled visibility and protection.

In contrast to traditional approaches that rely on disparate products and result in security gaps, Falcon Cloud Security consolidates major components of a Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) into one seamless solution. It includes true ASPM to secure applications, microservices, APIs, and dependencies across all major cloud providers. CrowdStrike's integrated approach ensures deep visibility and proactive threat mitigation across multi-cloud environments, allowing organisations to stay compliant with the latest regulations and security benchmarks.

Falcon Cloud Security differentiates itself with both agent and agentless capabilities, enabling comprehensive pre-runtime and runtime protection. This dual approach, combined with CrowdStrike’s leading threat intelligence, provides effective breach prevention and seamless remediation. Organisations using Falcon Cloud Security benefit from simplified development processes by integrating security earlier in the application lifecycle, thus catching potential issues before they escalate.

Customers of the platform have experienced significant cost savings due to its ability to reduce the need for multiple security tools. Additionally, the platform's continuous updates and cloud delivery model ensure it remains at the cutting edge of cloud security technology, effectively protecting its rapidly growing customer base in the public cloud.
