Overview

In a recent ESG survey, 62% of enterprises reported their assets grew over the past 2 years, yet most organizations don’t even know how vulnerable they are despite struggling to manage a slew of overlapping vulnerability management tools. However, when you have real-time visibility – from code to cloud – through one platform, security and IT teams can proactively manage risk and stop the breach before it happens.

CrowdStrike is the only single platform, single agent technology in cybersecurity that solves use cases well beyond endpoint protection and into proactive exposure management. With CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management, organizations can manage the entire security lifecycle through a single intelligent agent that can discover assets with instant visibility, get real-time exposure insights, leverage adversary-driven prioritization, and remediate vulnerabilities.

Falcon Exposure Management empowers security teams to harness the power of the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon XDR platform to unify real-time security and IT datasets and CrowdStrike’s renowned threat intelligence, endpoint and XDR telemetry to get unparalleled asset discovery and understanding, extensive exposure assessment, attack path analysis, and consolidated visibility across the entire attack surface.

Key Capabilities / Features

Due to the scalable nature of the CrowdStrike Falcon XDR platform, seamless data sharing between VM and incident response teams, and vast third-party data ingestion, customers receive the following benefits:


- Complete attack surface visibility. Organizations can discover and identify all assets including endpoints, IoT and OT workloads, accounts and applications. Rich context and a deep understanding of assets allow them to “see what the adversary sees."


- Real-time exposure insight. With a single click, security teams can quickly identify the source of exposures and adversary groups targeting their organization.


- AI-powered vulnerability management backed by adversary-led intelligence. Security teams can reduce alert fatigue and proactively stop breaches with AI-powered vulnerability prioritization. In addition, they can close points of compromise and stop lateral movement faster with predictive attack path mapping.


- Workflow automation. Falcon Exposure Management has extensive patching integrations and workflow automations, including an emergency patching capability for Windows systems, with one-click patching convenience when surgically targeted direct action is necessary.


- One-click deployment. Security teams can easily deploy Falcon Exposure Management at the click of a button with zero maintenance, unlike legacy vulnerability management tools that have bulky and complex infrastructure.


With CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management, customers can get an average savings of $600K over the course of three years of operation.


How we are different

Legacy vulnerability management tools cannot keep up with today’s sophisticated adversaries that are able to weaponize vulnerabilities in hours – in some cases minutes. Traditional vulnerability management approaches are based on legacy network scanners that are high cost, high maintenance, and low efficiency. These legacy vulnerability management offerings lack real-world adversary context and have limited visibility and can’t uncover the many gaps that adversaries can exploit, forcing security teams to be reactive and leaving environments vulnerable to a breach.


- CrowdStrike’s biggest differentiator is its lightweight single agent architecture that eliminates expensive and bulky scanning infrastructure as well as duplicate agents and sensors. With CrowdStrike, organizations can cut down the need for unnecessary manpower previously dedicated to maintaining legacy vulnerability management tools, saving time and money.


- CrowdStrike has been a leader in AI-native security for over a decade, and with our predictive ExPRT.AI prioritization model, security teams can allocate their limited resources strategically, focusing 95% of resources on the 5% of risk exposures that are most likely to be exploited by adversaries.


- Unlike legacy vulnerability management tools that can take weeks to complete a scan of an entire IT infrastructure, Falcon Exposure Management performs real-time, continuous assessment that delivers results in seconds.
