CrowdStrike Enhances Cloud Asset Visualization to Accelerate Risk Prioritization

The massive increase in cloud adoption has driven adversaries to focus their efforts on cloud environments - a shift that led to cloud intrusions increasing by 75% in 2023, emphasizing the need for stronger cloud security.
As organizations increase their quantity of cloud assets, their attack surface grows.
Large cloud environments are prone to more cloud misconfigurations, which provide more opportunities for adversaries to breach the perimeter.
CrowdStrike, a proven cloud security leader, has enhanced its CrowdStrike Falcon® Cloud Security capabilities to ensure security analysts can easily visualize their cloud assets' connections so they can better understand and prioritize risks.
Today we're expanding our asset graph to help modern organizations secure everything they build in the cloud.
As Falcon's attack path analysis extends further into the cloud, customers can leverage CrowdStrike® Asset Graph to more quickly investigate attacks and proactively resolve cloud weaknesses.
A filtered view of cloud assets shows all EC2 instances in the AWS account.
Both indicators of attack and indicators of misconfiguration are available for each managed cloud asset.
With this knowledge, security teams can quickly identify each asset that allows for initial access to their cloud.
Using Falcon's attack path analysis, security teams quickly see the remediation steps required to protect their cloud from adversaries.
The ability to quickly spin up cloud resources can result in asset sprawl - an unexpectedly large number of cloud assets in a live environment.
Security teams need a way to sift through massive cloud estates to find the services requiring attention.
A CrowdStrike Asset Graph view reveals the many connections between cloud assets.
With Falcon's query builder, pinpointing cloud weaknesses becomes an efficient process.
The expansion of cloud asset visualization is another step toward providing a single console that addresses every cloud security concern.
By integrating IOAs and IOMs with a connected asset map, CrowdStrike offers a robust, efficient solution for investigating today's cloud security challenges.
Unlike other vendors that may offer disjointed security components, CrowdStrike's approach integrates elements across the entire cloud infrastructure.
The cloud asset visualization, while pivotal, is just one component of this comprehensive CNAPP approach, underscoring CrowdStrike's commitment to delivering unparalleled security solutions that meet and anticipate the adversaries' attacks on cloud environments.
Get a free Cloud Security Health Check and see Falcon Cloud Security in action for yourself.
During the review, you will engage in a one-on-one session with a cloud security expert, evaluate your current cloud environment, and identify misconfigurations, vulnerabilities and potential cloud threats.
