Organizations face a relentless stream of emerging threats, from zero-day exploits to rapidly evolving adversary tactics. They need protection that keeps pace with this changing landscape without adding operational complexity.
The key challenge here is turning threat intelligence into production-ready detections before attackers can gain an advantage. Building and maintaining effective detection content requires deep visibility into adversary behavior, specialized expertise, and continuous tuning — all resources most organizations lack at scale.
CrowdStrike is introducing Falcon Platform Indicators of Attack (IOAs) to provide and maintain detection content across the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform. This is a new category of CrowdStrike-managed, adversary-driven detections designed to detect attack activity by correlating telemetry across CrowdStrike modules and third-party data sources. They will first be delivered in CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM, where they are now generally available.
This expands how CrowdStrike delivers IOAs across the Falcon platform. Historically, CrowdStrike IOAs detect malicious activity on endpoints, and cloud IOAs identify threats in cloud environments. Falcon Platform IOAs build on these capabilities by surfacing detections across all modules customers use.
Falcon Platform IOAs are maintained at scale and continuously refined by CrowdStrike detection engineers working alongside CrowdStrike incident response (IR) experts, CrowdStrike Falcon® Adversary OverWatch™ threat hunters, and the CrowdStrike Falcon® Complete managed detection and response (MDR) team.
