Managed Endpoint Protection Powered by CrowdStrike Falcon
Brian Long
Introduction
Endpoint detection and response (EDR) is the protection cyber insurance carriers now ask about by name. It’s the core of the Cyber Protection Package with CrowdStrike Falcon. A lightweight CrowdStrike Falcon agent on each computer and server replaces traditional antivirus and watches for suspicious behavior, and a 24/7 security operations center reviews what it finds, day and night, weekends and holidays included.
- Next-generation antivirus: Replaces traditional antivirus, blocking known and unknown malware before it runs.
- Ransomware: Spots the behavior of encryption attacks and stops them before they spread.
- Threats antivirus misses: Persistence tricks, process injection, and attackers “living off the land” with Windows’ own tools.
- Hands-on-keyboard attacks: A person working through your network after getting in, not just automated malware.
- Suspicious activity across machines: Signs that an attacker is moving from one computer to another.
- Vulnerabilities and unmanaged devices: Finds unpatched software, known exploited vulnerabilities, and devices nobody is managing, with a prioritized list of what to fix first.
- A record of what happened: Every laptop and server records activity, so an incident can be reconstructed and stopped instead of guessed at.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| Detect | The Falcon agent flags suspicious behavior and can stop and contain it on the spot. |
| Investigate | SOC analysts review the detection around the clock and confirm whether it’s real, responding to confirmed incidents within 15 minutes. Automation helps sort alerts, but a trained analyst makes every containment decision. |
| Contain | The SOC contains confirmed threats right away, within limits we agree with you in advance, like isolating a computer or disabling a compromised account. |
| Recover | We handle cleanup and recovery, and contact you based on severity with a plain-English explanation. |
| Document | Every alert and response is recorded for your insurer, clients, or auditors. |
