CrowdStrike is releasing CrowdStrike Falcon Insight for IoT, an EDR/XDR solution for Extended Internet of Things (XIoT) assets, bringing protection, detection, and response to IoT, OT, medical devices, Industrial IoT, and connected devices across the enterprise.
Delivered from the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, customers can now secure their organization with the same platform across XIoT, IT endpoints, cloud workloads, identities, and data, according to the company.
By collecting and leveraging asset-specific context to drive tailored XIoT threat prevention policy and high-fidelity detection, CrowdStrike Falcon Insight for IoT enables secure OT digital transformation and mitigates operationally crippling threats without disrupting operations.
Additionally, CrowdStrike Falcon Insight for IoT delivers:
- Powerful XIoT threat detection to reduce risk: Improve business continuity by identifying threats—such as ransomware and malicious project file modifications—by leveraging asset-specific context such as device type, OS version, protocols, and more.
- Tailored threat prevention without compromising uptime: Stop threats at the source with CrowdStrike’s AI-based threat prevention. Custom policy recommendations for XIoT assets empowers organizations to limit system burden and easily manage sensor updates.
- Rapid, proven response for hard-to-patch assets: Rapidly contain threats with integrated response actions, such as host/process containment and USB device control that minimizes operational disruptions.
- Interoperability with mission-critical XIoT assets: CrowdStrike’s single, lightweight agent is rigorously tested and validated by leading ICS vendors for simplified deployment, interoperability, and safety on mission-critical XIoT assets.
- Deep integrations with CrowdStrike Alliance and XIoT partners: Supercharge protection, detection, and response with robust integrations from CrowdStrike Alliance partners, such as Claroty, in a unified console.
“With the acceleration of OT digital transformation, organizations are struggling to address security challenges including stopping sophisticated attacks and dealing with operational complexity in securing XIoT assets in Industrial Control Systems (ICS) networks,” said Michael Sentonas, president of CrowdStrike. “CrowdStrike is uniquely positioned to solve the most-pressing concerns for organizations with CrowdStrike Falcon Insight for IoT, which extends our industry-leading EDR/XDR capabilities to XIoT assets to stop breaches—leaving no endpoint unprotected.”
