New Alliances Accelerate Deployment of CrowdStrike's Falcon Threat Intelligence

Intelligence-led decision-making capabilities are vital to effective cybersecurity. Security teams often employ a multitude of tools, each with its unique methods for incorporating threat data. This results in a complex and time-consuming process of consolidating threat feeds to inform the tools used to proactively mitigate risks associated with the latest adversary tactics.

The challenge lies in the diversity of threat intelligence sources and the varying integration capabilities of different security tools. This fragmentation can hinder the timely dissemination of critical information, leading to potential gaps in protection. Moreover, manually correlating and analyzing threat data is a laborious task.

To address these challenges, CrowdStrike entered new partnerships with CardinalOps, Nagomi and Veriti to enable complementary security tools to instantly utilize and create actionable security value from CrowdStrike’s threat intelligence.

CrowdStrike, for any unaware, is a cybersecurity company that offers a cloud-based platform = designed to protect businesses from various cyber threats. This platform uses advanced technology, including AI, to identify and stop attacks in real time. It also provides tools for monitoring vulnerabilities and taking corrective actions.

“CrowdStrike pioneered the adversary approach to cybersecurity, built on vigilantly tracking and modeling the threat landscape’s most prolific hacktivist, eCrime and nation-state adversaries,” said Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer, CrowdStrike. “With our new CardinalOps, Nagomi and Veriti partnerships, we’re extending industry-leading threat intelligence to ecosystem partner solutions, enabling organizations of all sizes to utilize real-world adversary behavior to automate security decisions and stop breaches.”

Let’s go over some of the benefits from the partnerships:

CardinalOps empowers customers to leverage CrowdStrike's threat intelligence for precise threat detection across their diverse environments. By integrating this intelligence into their SIEM, customers enhance their security posture and respond swiftly to emerging threats.

“As threat actors become more sophisticated and IT environments grow increasingly complex, our partnership with CrowdStrike helps customers implement precise and proactive threat detection, improving security effectiveness while reducing time-consuming, manual processes,” said Michael Mumcuoglu, co-founder and CEO at CardinalOps.

Nagomi complements CrowdStrike by providing intelligence-driven security posture management. This tool allows customers to assess the potential impact of threat actor campaigns on their controls and security architecture. Nagomi then transforms CrowdStrike's threat intelligence into actionable recommendations to help customers optimize their security stack against real-world threats.

“The partnership between CrowdStrike and Nagomi brings together industry-leading threat intelligence and proactive defense capabilities, empowering customers to proactively optimize their existing security investments and stay ahead of evolving threats,” said Shai Mendel, co-founder and CTO at Nagomi.

Veriti further strengthens the security posture by offering proactive exposure assessment and remediation. This tool automatically enriches and enforces CrowdStrike's threat intelligence across all security controls. By prioritizing and mobilizing remediation efforts, Veriti helps customers mitigate risks without disrupting their business operations.

“Our partnership with CrowdStrike underscores our commitment to providing customers with the ability to actively monitor, prioritize, and remediate risk exposure across their entire security stack, enhancing our capabilities with deep insights into real-world adversary behavior,” said Adi Ikan, co-founder and CEO at Veriti.
