A version of CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform, known as Falcon Go, has been released specifically for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). The primary aim is to provide a comprehensive security solution that leverages AI capabilities instead of relying solely on IT personnel.
Falcon Go offers a user-friendly experience with a guided installation process and pre-configured settings for various security tasks. It serves as an easily deployable endpoint protection solution, featuring unified dashboards that showcase threat updates and device protection status. Users have the ability to manage devices, deploy agents, and oversee user permissions through the centralized management console.
The main objective of Falcon Go is to safeguard against prevalent threats like ransomware and data breaches from vulnerable devices. CrowdStrike promotes it as a robust yet user-friendly cybersecurity solution tailored for non-technical users within the SMB sector.
Daniel Bernard, a key figure at CrowdStrike, highlighted the gap in cybersecurity solutions for SMBs in the past. He emphasized the importance of addressing the security needs of companies with limited resources, typically ranging from small teams to mid-sized organizations without dedicated security operations centers.
Unlike traditional endpoint security tools reliant on signature-based detection methods, Falcon Go distinguishes itself by employing cognitive AI analytics to monitor device behavior proactively, rather than reactive signature matching.
Bernard underscored CrowdStrike’s expertise in the realm of Artificial Intelligence, noting that Falcon Go utilizes a blend of dynamic AI, trained on specific datasets, and cognitive AI algorithms to enhance security measures. This approach enables the system to detect and mitigate threats that may evade conventional signature-based security systems.
