AWS and CrowdStrike

Also at re:Invent, CrowdStrike announced expanded service integrations with AWS to provide breach protection across AWS environments, simplified infrastructure management and security consolidation.

AWS announced the release of AWS Account Factory Customization (AFC), which enables customers to customize their AWS account natively during provisioning in AWS AFC. For this integration, CrowdStrike Falcon Horizon cloud security posture management operates together with AWS AFC to automatically provide data to help triage findings and recommend remediations to close the gaps and keep cloud data secure while ensuring cloud infrastructure meets industry and governmental security requirements and compliance standards.

Additionally, customers can automate the detection of cloud-specific misconfigurations and vulnerabilities, eliminating security threats across cloud environments. CrowdStrike’s adversary-focused approach provides real-time threat intelligence on over 180 adversary groups, over 50 indicator of attack (IOA) detections and guided remediation that increases investigation speed by up to 88%, enabling teams to respond faster to stop breaches.

Brett Shaw is CrowdStrike‘s senior product marketing manager.

“With CrowdStrike and AWS, customers benefit from better protection, better performance and immediate time-to-value,” he said. “With over a dozen service-level integrations available, joint AWS and CrowdStrike customers are provided with a consistent security posture between their on-premises workloads and those running in the AWS cloud for defense-in-depth security.”
