CrowdStrike, a leading cybersecurity vendor, has released CrowdStrike Falcon Complete XDR, a managed extended detection and response (MXDR) solution designed to help organizations secure their networks amidst a ever-growing cyber skills gap. The tool is powered by AI-automation and threat intelligence, leveraging real-time data to detect and respond to online threats.
Given the current state of the market, cyber security teams are often understaffed, yet expected to protect networks from sophisticated and rapidly advancing threats. MXDR services address this problem, providing organizations access to 24/7 threat hunting and response support from a team of specialist security experts.
CrowdStrike’s solution competitors include Trend Micro and Blackberry, who have both released their own automated XDR solutions and associated services. Although each offers their own unique approach, CrowdStrike’s MXDR is considered more effective, having achieved the highest overall detection rate among its competitors according to a MITRE engenuity ATT&CK evaluations for security service providers.
This release from CrowdStrike was timed to coincide with an industry event in San Francisco where leading executives come together to discuss methods of optimizing AI investments for their organizations.
Tom Etheridge, the Chief Global Services Officer at CrowdStrike, stressed how the MXDR solution can help relieve the burden on often underfunded security teams and “provide organizations with access to effective AI-powered automation and threat intelligence, alongside incident detection and response”.
Overall, CrowdStrike’s MXDR service provides large organizations and enterprises with an affordable subscription-based solution access to comprehensive security and threat detection. The technology is expected to provide organizations with greater insight into their threat landscape, allowing them to quickly respond to incidents and protect their perimeter against the growing threat of malicious actors.
