Identity Protection the Brite and CrowdStrike Way

At a Glance:

• Identity-based attacks continue to wreak havoc as threat actors are no longer breaking in – they’re logging in.
• The pairing of Brite and CrowdStrike ensures that only authorized users gain access to your valuable data and resources.
• CrowdStrike’s Falcon® Identity Protection (IDP) solution stops identity-based threats with comprehensive visibility, automated detections, proactive prevention, and rapid response.
• Brite, meanwhile, offers deployment, configuration, and ongoing management of identity protection services so you don’t have to go it alone.

While identity-based attacks aren’t new, they continue to wreak havoc. The alarming reality is that threat actors are no longer breaking in – they’re logging in.

In fact, five of the top 10 MITRE ATT&CK® techniques observed from July 2023 to June 2024 were identity-based. Plus, there are more than 24 billion compromised credentials available on the dark web.

If you want to ensure that only authorized users are gaining access to your valuable data and resources, you need Brite and CrowdStrike. Let’s delve deeper into how this pairing will keep you protected from identity-based threats.

 

CrowdStrike’s Approach to Identity Protection

CrowdStrike’s Falcon® Identity Protection (IDP) solution stops identity-based threats with comprehensive visibility, automated detections, proactive prevention, and rapid response.

With Falcon® IDP, you’re empowered with three fundamental capabilities needed to effectively stop identity attacks: complete visibility, real-time protection, and a risk-based response that takes overall context into account.

• Complete Visibility: Gain comprehensive visibility across complex, hybrid environments and reduce the attack surface with a complete picture of your active directory (AD) hygiene. Also, Falcon® IDP baselines normal user behavior and detects anomalous activity across endpoints and identities that may indicate a possible attack.
• Real-time Protection: Falcon® IDP detects complex identity-based attacks across unified endpoint and identity telemetry and stops attacks in real time by blocking authentication at the AD layer, even from unmanaged hosts. With a rich policy engine, it also fully automates response.
• Risk-Based Response:Falcon® IDP continuously monitors user behavior and combines context based from both identity and endpoint telemetry to compute a user risk score. The elevation of this score can dynamically evoke a response, such as forcing multi-factor authentication (MFA). Falcon® IDP integrates with many 3^rd party MFA providers, leveraging your current investment and extending it into areas impossible to cover with traditional IAM, such as legacy systems or deprecated protocols.

 

Tired of having multiple agents to manage? CrowdStrike offers a single agent protecting both your endpoints and identity, thereby cutting complexity and minimizing maintenance.

CrowdStrike is also the only adversary-focused platform that brings together endpoint and identity telemetry into a unified platform. In addition, CrowdStrike combines this data with risk threat intel and the latest adversary tradecraft.

This unified approach not only provides much better and faster detections with full attack path visibility, but also allows you to automate policy-based responses.  Thereby improving SOC efficiency and security outcomes by eliminating manual correlation of threats.
