CrowdStrike
CrowdStrike describes itself as a cloud-native cybersecurity company protecting endpoints, cloud workloads, identities and data. It is not automotive-specific, and is listed here because dealerships carry data security obligations.
CrowdStrike: Falcon platform
Its site centers on the Falcon platform, presented as a unified console with a single sensor, and on an agentic security operations centre, and it sells in bundles.
| Product or service | Function |
|---|---|
| Falcon platform | One console and single sensor covering endpoint, identity, cloud and AI security. |
| Agentic SOC | Security operations using AI agents. |
| Bundles | Falcon Go, Falcon Pro, Falcon Enterprise and Falcon Complete. |
| Services | Managed and incident response services listed on the site. |
Endpoint protection versus cloud and identity coverage
CrowdStrike's Falcon menu separates endpoint security, identity security, cloud security, SaaS security and data protection. Endpoint detection and response concerns activity on the computer; identity protection concerns the accounts used to sign in; cloud protection concerns hosted workloads. crowdstrike.com
A dealer group can inventory those separately when reviewing a Falcon proposal. Counting managed desktops alone does not identify which identity accounts, cloud services or third-party SaaS applications are included in the licensed coverage. crowdstrike.com
