2025 Cyber Security Trends: Future-Ready Identity Security: Innovations for Hybrid Environments

Security teams are drowning in alerts, managing siloed tools, and struggling to separate real threats from the noise. Legacy vulnerability management relies on slow, complex scanners that generate outdated reports, causing blind spots across cloud, endpoints, and unmanaged assets. Adversaries like Operator Panda exploit these vulnerabilities to infiltrate critical industries. The solution? AI-powered exposure management that eliminates inefficiencies and prioritizes real threats.

Join CrowdStrike industry experts and special guest Lisa Brooks, Director of Information Security — Security Operations & Engineering at ETS, for a live session on how to take control of your attack surface before adversaries do.

Register now to learn how CrowdStrike Falcon® Exposure Management helps you:

•Achieve complete attack surface visibility: Expand visibility beyond endpoints to unmanaged assets without additional scanners, agents, or hardware — eliminating blind spots across your attack surface.

•Focus on what matters most: Go beyond outdated CVSS scores with ExPRT.AI that correlates vulnerabilities across endpoints and networks with real-world adversary activity to prioritize the risks that matter.

•Eliminate scanner complexity: Turn on frictionless network scanning with Network Vulnerability Assessment in one click, without the headaches of traditional scanner deployment. No new agents. No dedicated appliances. Just actionable insights.

•Accelerate response with automated remediation: Reduce manual effort with CrowdStrike Falcon® Fusion SOAR workflows, automating remediation across cloud, endpoint, and network exposures.

•Strengthen security while reducing costs: See how organizations have achieved a 98%1 reduction in critical vulnerabilities, reduced their external attack surface by 75%2, and eliminated up to 90%3 of legacy scanning costs by consolidating tools into the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform.
