CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection: The Cadillac of Exploit and Ransomware Protection
CrowdStrike Falcon Pro is installed on all enterprise machines, virtual and physical. We even have it installed on our private cloud servers used for web hosting. CrowdStrike is part of our layered defense strategy to mitigate breaches, ransomware and other types of malware. The ability to run on Windows, Mac, and Linux is a huge advantage that we couldn't find in every solution.
- Ransomware protection. We ran a ransomware simulation with obfuscated executables to hide malware signatures and CrowdStrike found and stopped 15 out of 15.
- Malware/adware detection. Packaged adware in official installers are instantly blocked without interfering with the install of the primary application.
- The ability to do a system-level scan like a traditional AV is missing and isn't a feature CrowdStrike is planning on implementing. Old school IT guys are going to be curious about this.
- Host management and deletion are clunky and take 45 days for a machine to fall off your subscription license.
The agent is deployed in all endpoints and centrally managed by a team of security professionals. Works as any other next/new gen AV/IPS/IDS but with a more friendly UI that allows for a more granular and customizable security strategy. It's very scalable and its compatibility allows for greater coverage which allows for mitigation of SPFs.
- The balance between ease of use and granular control.
- Compatibility.
- Customer service.
- Action performed logs not included in the executive/technical report.
- Some problems and glitches with the management tool.
- Some web interface items are not very intuitive.
CrowdStrike is being used within the security department. It is installed on machines within the whole organization, but the only people typically looking into the platform are the security team. Systems team has access to the platform, but only log on as needed to update sensors or install new ones. It addresses the issue of not needing to manually scan machines. The detections allow for easily digging into any potential issues.
- Detailed explanations and break downs of detection.
- Allows for remote control of machines.
- Easy to deploy.
- Falcon isn't continuously scanning the machine, if something is downloaded and viewed as safe it won't be re-checked later.
- More dashboards and information on vulnerabilities on the machines would be helpful.
- More reports that could be given to executives would also be beneficial. There are some now, but the options are rather limited.

CrowdStrike Falcon Delivers As Expected
We have utilized Crowdstrike Falcon for just over a year enterprise-wide across our server and VDI infrastructure with great success. This replaced an older signature-based solution. In the 1st few weeks we have seen an approx. 17% increase in detections. Support has been great through the implementation and initial tightening of rules and removing false positives. Highly recommend CrowdStrike and their managed support.
- Initial detection through their various proprietary methodologies.
- The graphical display of the malware and the potential impact chain is fantastic.
- We realize sensor updating is necessary, but they seem to be very frequent.
- It is not a cheap solution.

CrowdStrike does what we need it to do
We use it to monitor the machines connecting to our network. It scans activity for Malicious activity and determines the severity from low-high. We receive an email telling us what the hostname is of the machine that is effected. The Falcon Complete Team is also able to do things for us such as whitelist.
- The monitoring is great, and the emails we receive help determine when and if we need to do something on a specific machine.
- The service that the Falcon Complete Team offers is also helpful.
- I also think the recommended actions when Escalation: High Detection is determined are great.
- I have been doing an audit on machines that have or are missing Crowdstrike. MAC addresses are used but don't always match with the serial number of the machine. but Crowdstrike doesn't capture serial numbers. I have to do a manual comparison.
Falcon was installed on all systems in an effort to support attacks. We were recently the victim of an attack and needed to quickly recover and get systems back up and running. CrowdStrike helped us do that securely.
- Stops breaches.
- Identifies unauthorized systems and applications, and monitors the use of privileged user accounts anywhere in the environment.
- Install limitations - Windows XP not capable.

CrowdStrike will save your company
Crowdstrike (CS) is deployed globally to all workstations and a dozen critical servers. Crowdstrike is our only application for endpoint protection/security. We went with Crowdstrike specifically to address a rash of Ransomware we experienced back in 2016. Since installing, our problems completely disappeared.
- Detects and automatically blocks dangerous behavior on endpoints that could be indicative of malicious activity, like executing programs from the deleted items folder, executing a SSH command in silent mode from different places in the OS, etc.
- Monitors endpoints continuously for known malware, evaluates dangerous behaviors and blocks execution based on risk tolerance settings, uses AI to draw correlations on multiple attack vectors, and has a human malware hunting element to detect known or newly detected attack vectors.
- Is easy to deploy across a large organization and manage centrally by as few as 1 person part time.
- This was the fastest and easiest implementation of an enterprise grade security system I have ever done. I pushed software to the endpoints on a Friday afternoon, and was complete by Noon on Monday, as each workstation came online, the installer completed, and we were protected.
- We get false positive detections when we run an email signature script for our users. These false positives can be a distraction. We've implemented a whitelist for those behaviors, but had some difficulty in figuring out how to configure CrowdStrike to recognize these executions since the file name and hash were always different (the executing file was firstname_lastname.exe, and that was too Vague to whitelist.

Crowdstrike Falon EPP - security and intelligence
Falcon EPP is installed on every PC and server in our environment. Our primary use of the solution is for real-time forensic analysis and we highly value the contributions of the CrowdStrike OverWatch Team.
- Rapid identification of potential data security issues.
- Blocking of continued activity and lateral movement in the event that a single endpoint is suspected of compromise.
- Detailed threat intelligence and analysis from the OverWatch Team.
- Fully developed and integrated internal vulnerability scanning.
