CrowdStrike is a cybersecurity company specializing in endpoint protection, threat intelligence, and cyberattack response. They provide a range of security solutions designed to protect businesses from cyber threats using their Falcon platform.
Falcon continuously monitors system activities, including processes, file changes, network connections, and user activities. This requires deep integration with the OS to detect and respond to threats in real time.
To provide advanced threat detection and response capabilities, Falcon interacts with the Windows kernel. This allows it to monitor low-level system operations and intercept potentially malicious actions before they can harm the system.
Falcon uses behavioral analysis to identify unusual patterns that may indicate a threat. This requires access to various system events and logs.
When a threat is detected, Falcon can take actions such as isolating the infected machine, terminating malicious processes, and quarantining or deleting malicious files. This requires write access to the file system and the ability to control process ex*****on.
Falcon operates at a deep level within the OS, it is designed to minimize system disruption and if it crushes or if there is a bug, then it run the whole OS off. 🕵️♂️👨💻👨🏫
