CrowdStrike Launches Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security

CrowdStrike announced CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen Identity Security, the first integrated solution to protect all identities – including human, non-human, and AI agents – across the entire hybrid identity lifecycle and in any environment. The new solution deploys instantly through the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon® platform, eliminating security blind spots and replacing siloed security controls to protect identities across on-premise, cloud, SaaS, and workloads. CrowdStrike unifies initial access prevention, modern privileged access management (PAM), identity threat detection and response (ITDR), SaaS identity security, and agent identity protection to stop identity abuse in any domain.

“We are thrilled to partner with CrowdStrike to bring our technology to market, and we look forward to continuing to grow our business,” said Mike Sentonas, President of CrowdStrike.

“Organizations need trusted identity security now – they can’t wait months or years. CrowdStrike delivers the solution our customers most desire: a unified platform that builds modern identity security into their organizations by design, without architectural trade-offs or integration debt. Today’s enterprises use identity across users, machines, and AI agents, operating in real time across hybrid environments, creating a rapidly changing and unpredictable access landscape. The Falcon platform is designed to reliably protect identities in these complex environments, with the speed, scale, and accuracy needed to stop modern identity attacks.”

Identity has become a primary attack vector used by attackers to compromise organizations. Attackers are increasingly leveraging a wide range of identities, including human users, service accounts (non-human identities), SaaS credentials, and more recently, autonomous AI agents. Each AI agent performs extraordinary tasks and is assigned an identity through which it has persistent access to systems, applications, and sensitive data. The identities assigned to these non-human agents significantly increase the size and severity of the attack surface. With more identities across more environments and more privileges across more workflows, attackers have more opportunities to launch attacks faster than defenders can respond. Modern attackers leverage this access to move seamlessly across multiple domains—endpoints, identity, cloud, and SaaS—making organizations that rely solely on traditional IAM and PAM tools prime targets for cross-domain attacks.

Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security closes the gaps attackers target with an integrated solution that provides continuous protection across multiple identity types – human, non-human and AI agents – and multiple stages of the identity attack chain. CrowdStrike protects against human, non-human and AI agents from initial access through lateral movement across hybrid environments, including on-premise, cloud and SaaS. Through a single, integrated platform, CrowdStrike’s agent-based AI powers autonomous threat analysis and response to detect, investigate and prevent identity-based attacks in real time.

Organizations can strengthen their security posture immediately, without waiting for promises of future integration that may or may not come to fruition, or having to settle for siloed identity functions across multiple platforms and the same complexity and security gaps that come with multi-vendor solutions. Delivered through a single lightweight sensor and managed from a single console, CrowdStrike’s solution gives defenders real-time visibility, dynamic access enforcement, and autonomous response across all identities and domains.

CrowdStrike’s unified platform for protecting all identities across hybrid environments,
Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security, brings together four core capabilities to deliver end-to-end visibility, control and protection across the entire attack chain across hybrid identity environments.

Prevent initial access: Leverages real-time endpoint signals, industry-leading threat intelligence, and AI trained on trillions of events to authenticate trusted identities and dynamically block threats before attackers gain initial access.

Modern Privileged Access Management (PAM): Enforce just-in-time access and remove permanently granted privileges. Protect sensitive systems across hybrid and multi-cloud environments by dynamically adjusting access rights based on real-time risk.

Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR): Detect and prevent identity-based attacks in real time, using cross-domain telemetry and agent-based AI to triage threats, enforce policies, and block lateral movement and privilege escalation.

SaaS Identity Security: Identify misconfigurations, flag risky behaviors, and manage over-provisioned access rights for human and non-human identities and AI agents across cloud-first applications.

Delivered through the クラウドストライク Falcon platform, Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security eliminates fragmented tools and disconnected workflows. Security teams gain real-time visibility, dynamically enforce access rights, and act autonomously across all identities and domains. Rapid deployment and immediate time-to-value enable organizations to strengthen their identity security posture today, without waiting for integrations or accepting security gaps.
