Written by Scott McNeil | Jun 19, 2018 6:06:00 PM

In a previous blog post, we talked about the power of next-gen antivirus solutions and the many benefits of deploying CrowdStrike’s Falcon Prevent into your infrastructure. With the most complete antivirus solution in the industry, Falcon Prevent helps companies stay ahead of the fast-changing tactics and techniques of today’s threats. Delivered on the cloud, Falcon Prevent enables rapid deployment without any on-premises infrastructure management needed. Even big organizations can get up and running in minutes and operate it alongside an existing antivirus solution during transition.

Next-gen antivirus is an excellent first step towards a comprehensive endpoint protection solution. Right now, you can take advantage of a free 15-day trial of Falcon Prevent, which includes full access to Falcon Prevent, resource monitoring tools, a comprehensive testing guide and more. Start your free Falcon Prevent trial today.

Though Falcon Prevent is a great place to start, there’s still a lot more to endpoint protection that should be considered. By pairing Falcon Prevent with CrowdStrike’s Falcon Insight™ and Falcon Discover™, you’ll get the benefits of next-gen antivirus solutions along with powerful endpoint protection, detection and response capabilities as well as the ability to ensure IT hygiene for continuous breach protection.

All running on a single lightweight agent, the complete solution protects against all types of attacks such as zero-day malware, ransomware, exploits and advanced fileless attacks. The solution combines advanced prevention technologies including machine learning for malware protection, indicator of attack (IOA) behavioral blocking and exploit blocking.

 

Detect and respond to endpoint threats with Falcon Insight

Even with strong defenses in place, attackers can still find ways to get into your security systems and cause damage to your environment over days, weeks or even months at a time. CrowdStrike’s Falcon Insight helps you eliminate the risk of these silent failures and undetected intruders by using real-time detection and response monitoring. With complete endpoint visibility and a record of all activities of interest, you’ll be able to detect, contain, investigate and respond to attacks to eliminate threats with precision.

Falcon Insight helps you stop threats effectively by recording endpoint activity to catch incidents that have evaded prevention measures. With the latest endpoint detection and response capabilities, you’ll be able to detect and alert your systems of suspicious activity, undergo data exploration to hunt for possible threats, search and investigate incident data reports, and stop malicious activity.

 

Improve security hygiene with Falcon Discover

Falcon Discover enables IT and security teams to identify and track applications and computers running on their environment. This IT hygiene solution delivers real-time visibility, so you can see who and what is in your network at all times. It helps you get instant, accurate inventories of your systems so you can see what apps users are running.

With the ability to report on unauthorized applications and systems, you’ll be ready to stay ahead of attacks and address issues if they happen. You’ll be able to detect if vulnerable or unpatched systems are being used before it’s too late. You’ll also be able to monitor admin credentials to see if they are being used appropriately and in the proper context.

With a cloud-delivered solution, you’ll save time, cost and effort by avoiding on-premises infrastructure management. And the solution can be deployed rapidly and start running as soon as it’s installed. The solution doesn’t impact endpoint performance because inventory searches happen in the cloud instead of on endpoints. Falcon Discover can also improve your operations and management of unused applications, eliminating costly licensing fees in the process.

 

Let’s continue the CrowdStrike conversation

With CrowdStrike’s Falcon Prevent, Falcon Insight and Falcon Discover all working together, you can ensure total endpoint protection for your infrastructure without the complexity and effort that comes with on-premises options. Lighthouse Computer Services can help you get started with CrowdStrike’s powerful solutions today, so you can start protecting your systems and endpoints better. Let’s talk.
