CrowdStrike, a global cybersecurity leader, is redefining security for the cloud era with an endpoint and workload protection platform built from the ground up to stop breaches. The CrowdStrike Falcon® platform’s single lightweight-agent architecture leverages cloud-scale artificial intelligence (AI) and offers real-time protection and visibility across the enterprise, preventing attacks on endpoints and workloads on or off the network. 

There’s only one thing to remember about CrowdStrike: We stop breaches.

Cloud exploitations increased 95% over the past year — a clear indicator that attack surfaces are becoming more dynamic and sophisticated in the cloud. While 2023 saw some cloud infrastructure and workload protection consolidation into unified platforms, continuous delivery and ineffective application security still elevates overall risk and leaves a gaping hole for adversaries to exploit.

Join us for a review of the current state of application security, a deeper dive into the challenges of securing applications, and see how CrowdStrike’s AI-native modern cloud security platform protects applications from code to runtime.

What to expect:
• Get insights into the challenges security teams face as developers push application changes more frequently
• Learn how to empower developers to create more secure and resilient applications
• Hear firsthand from an ASPM customer

Cloud Security Consolidation Extends Protection from Code to Runtime

As cyber threat actors get faster, smarter, and more relentless, security and IT teams face increased risk and complexity. Disjointed, underperforming point products create blind spots where adversaries thrive, delaying threat detection and response and making it harder to stay ahead of the enemy.

Join our guest speakers – Intel’s CISO, Brent Conran and IDC’s research VP, Christopher Kissel – along with CrowdStrike’s VP of Portfolio Marketing, Scott Simkin, to discuss platform consolidation trends and learn how consolidating security tools with the Falcon platform helps organizations stop breaches, save time, and save money

What to expect:

• Hear perspectives from Intel Corporation and IDC on platform consolidation and what security and IT leaders should expect in 2024
• Learn how customers who have consolidated tools with CrowdStrike realized substantial benefits around better security, improved SOC efficiency, and cost savings
• Prepare for next steps on your organization’s security consolidation journey

Cybersecurity Consolidation – Perspectives from Intel's CISO and New Research

Over the last year, breakthroughs in generative AI have captivated consumer and enterprise interest — and organizations are scrambling to keep up with technology while navigating its growing attack surface.

We’ll also peek behind the curtain at CrowdStrike’s LLM-based security technology, Charlotte AI, and hear early insights from beta customers.

What to expect:
• Learn the fundamentals of LLMs and the value they bring to security teams
• Discover the emerging attack surface of LLMs and potential risks of generative AI tools
• Understand key criteria organizations should consider when evaluating and comparing LLM technologies

Rise Above SCATTERED SPIDER with Next-Gen SIEM

Threat actors are getting bolder, stakes are higher, ransom costs and extortions are growing exponentially. These attacks can cause huge financial and reputation damage to organizations and affect their customers, or even worse, critical infrastructure or supply chains.

This webinar will be delivered by the CrowdStrike Falcon Complete team where they will execute a live Ransomware attack scenario. A public facing host that is unprotected by Falcon has become compromised. The intruder is leveraging it to laterally move across the environment via RDP in attempts to deploy ransomware.

CrowdStrike’s 2023 Threat Hunting Report

Ransomware attacks are evolving. And if your organization isn’t prepared, you could be in for rude awakening in 2024. A recent survey reported that as many as 79% of organizations have experienced a successful ransomware attack over the last year.

Beyond the cost of a ransom, your organization must bear the burden of business disruption, irreparable damage to your reputation and customer trust, and other long-term impacts. Too many organizations have a false sense of security when it comes to their defenses, especially if you leverage decades-old traditional AV or endpoint security products.

Join us in this webinar to learn about:
• The major ways that ransomware has evolved going into 2024
• The gaps in traditional security tools that make your environment an easy target for adversaries
• How modern endpoint security solutions enable your organization to have an adaptable defense that can outpace and outsmart today’s adversaries

How Ransomware is evolving in 2024

This webinar explores the findings from two CrowdStrike reports – the Global Threat Report (GTR) & Cloud Risk Report (CRR) – which shed light on the ever-evolving landscape of cloud security and global threats in 2023.

Falcon Complete Attack & Defend Demo - Falcon Cloud Security

Gone are the days when your enterprise functioned as a “castle and moat,” wherein you had complete reign over your data centers, firewalls, users, and data. 

Instead, many of your critical assets now likely live in the cloud or are dispersed across your digital footprint. When the castle walls are dismantled and your assets are everywhere, how do you fend off the swarms of hackers vying to compromise them?  

External Attack Surface Management (EASM) offers reprieve in this scenario, placing security visibility and control back into your hands. 

Join this webinar with Crowdstrike’s Tina Thorstenson, VP of Industry Business Unit & Executive Strategist, and Kamil Imtiaz, Director of IT SecOps Product Marketing, to educate yourself on Gartner’s definition of EASM, its associated benefits, and 5 things to consider before investing in an EASM solution.

5 Considerations for Investing in External Attack Surface Management

According to 2023 Crowdstrike threat research, exploitation of web-facing services, a sharp increase in the use of zero-day exploits on enterprise software, and adversaries pivoting from traditional endpoints to targeting cloud are three of the most significant dynamics impacting APAC’s cybersecurity landscape today.

However, the trends, and emerging attack vectors, don’t stop there. 

In this webinar, Crowdstrike’s APAC experts—Fabio Fratucello, Scott Jarkoff, and Mark Goudie—dissect their 2023 Global Threat Report (GTR), showcasing the specific cybersecurity trends, threats, and adversaries impacting APAC geographies and industry sectors.

Watch the session or risk missing this threat intelligence gathered by Crowdstrike’s Global Overwatch and APAC Incident Response teams, which includes a deep dive into the cyber espionage landscape, over-arching APJ trends, and more.

Nowhere To Hide: 2022 Falcon OverWatch Threat Hunting Report [APJ]

A unique perspective on eCrime in APAC from CrowdStrike's threat intelligence and OverWatch teams.

When it comes to understanding what’s happening with the major criminal groups perpetrating cyber attacks today, we can take a lot of our cues from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and DC Extended Universe (DCEU).

Just like the fictional heroes and villains in MCU and DCEU, the real-life eCrime adversaries (“Spiders”) are extremely intertwined with each other. These Spiders have spun vast webs where they work together to complete big game hunting ransomware attacks and other similar attacks around the world.

That collaboration has led to higher levels of automation, greater sophistication in initial access techniques and even ransomware as a service (RaaS) affiliate programs. That’s reflected in an average eCrime breakout time in 2021 of just 98 minutes.

This CrowdCast webinar will keep you up to date with the current and emerging threat landscape, the active eCrime adversaries, and their techniques, targets and methods. CrowdStrike has combined the latest insights of our threat intelligence research and analytics team with the on-the-ground experiences of our APAC Falcon OverWatch™ managed threat hunting and response service.

Essential Update On The e-Crime Adversary Universe: Ransomware & More in 2022

As organizations migrate more services and applications to the cloud, adversaries have shifted their focus to exploit a broader attack surface.

From vulnerability exploitation to credential theft, attackers are going after any weak points that allow them to compromise the ever-growing amount of critical business data and applications hosted in the cloud.

We will share insights into today’s top cloud security threats and  cloud vulnerabilities, along with best practices to address them. Join the workshop to learn:
• The top cloud security threats in 2022
