Use Cases and Deployment Scope
CrowdStrike Falcon provides end-user security, as well as data security, and sandboxing further allowing security researchers and analysts to dig into the malware some. It is an over security solution, or stack, that allows companies to use one platform rather than multiple. What I like most though is the compliance assessment. CrowdStrike Falcon recently added HIPAA to the list of compliance frameworks that it will test your environment against so that you can see how your companies security compares to different compliance standards. For example, I need to be hipaa compliant, so I can see how my company‘s security compares to hipaa compliance requirement and if it is not hipaa compliant, it will show me what to fix and how to fix it.
Pros and Cons
  • Compliance Audit
  • End user security
  • Data protection
  • The user interface can be challenging to navigate from time to time until you get the hang of it.
Likelihood to Recommend
CrowdStrike Falcon is a robust security suite that would do well with any company, but it is geared more towards enterprises.

Yes, I was having an issue with the new HIPAA compliance scanner. I called support and they walked me through it. I had the premium support package but we were unable to validate it, so the support rep took me at my word that we had it and continued to help me, even though he wasn’t obligated to.
