Falcon for Defender delivers OverWatch threat hunting and independent security validation, deploying alongside Microsoft Defender to stop missed attacks

RSA Conference 2024: CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) today announced the launch of CrowdStrike Falcon® for Defender augmenting Microsoft Defender1 deployments to stop missed attacks. As part of the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon® XDR platform, Falcon for Defender deploys alongside Microsoft, elevating the security posture of endpoints running Microsoft Defender.

For organizations relying on Microsoft Defender, managing complex policies, signature updates, and multiple consoles places significant operational burden on security teams. This complexity leads to protection gaps that adversaries seek to exploit. Falcon for Defender provides organizations with the visibility into threats that bypass Defender and the threat hunting required to stop breaches.
