CrowdStrike Introduces CrowdStrike Asset Graph to Help Organizations Proactively Identify and Eliminate Blind Spots

AUSTIN, Texas and RSA Conference 2022, SAN FRANCISCO – June 6, 2022 – CrowdStrike (Nasdaq: CRWD), a leader in cloud-delivered protection of endpoints, cloud workloads, identity and data, today introduced CrowdStrike Asset Graph, a new graph database powered by the CrowdStrike Security Cloud that provides IT and security leaders with a 360-degree view into all assets (both managed and unmanaged) alongside unprecedented visibility into their attack surface across devices, users, accounts, applications, cloud workloads, operational technology (OT) and more to simplify IT operations and stop breaches.

As organizations accelerate their digital transformation, they are expanding their attack surface exponentially. This has dramatically increased their risk exposure to adversaries who are discovering and exploiting these soft targets and vulnerabilities faster than IT and security teams can discover them. Visibility is one of the foundational principles of cybersecurity because you cannot secure and defend the assets you don’t know exist. This, in turn, creates a race between adversaries and companies’ IT and security teams to find these blind spots. According to a 2022 report from Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), “69% of organizations have experienced a cyberattack in which the attack itself started through the exploit of an unknown, unmanaged, or poorly managed internet-facing asset.”

CrowdStrike Asset Graph solves this problem by dynamically monitoring and tracking the complex interactions between assets, providing a single holistic view of the risks those assets pose. While other solutions simply provide a list of assets without context, Asset Graph provides graphic visualizations of the relationships between all assets such as devices, users, accounts, applications, cloud workloads and OT, along with the rich context necessary for proper security hygiene and proactive security posture management to reduce risk in their organizations.

“Digital transformation has led to an equal and pronounced acceleration of security transformation in the modern enterprise. For companies furthest along on this journey, IT operations and security teams – once distinct silos – are…
