CrowdStrike Launches the Fastest and Largest Cybersecurity Search EngineCrowdStrike® Inc., the leader in cloud-delivered endpoint protection, today announced that it has significantly expanded the capabilities of the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform by launching CrowdStrike Falcon Search Engine, the fastest and largest search engine for cybersecurity data. Today, CrowdStrike is introducing CrowdStrike Falcon MalQuery, the malware search and intelligence component of the search engine as part of its Summer product release. With a vision to change the way security research, threat data collection, and intrusion detections and remediations are conducted, CrowdStrike is building the CrowdStrike Falcon Search Engine to be the industry's most comprehensive platform for cyber threat intelligence and threat research. CrowdStrike Falcon's scalable cloud-based architecture makes it the ideal foundation for a cybersecurity search engine. CrowdStrike has built the largest searchable threat database in the cybersecurity industry, ingesting more than 51 billion security events a day, and indexing more than 700 million files totaling more than 560TB of malware that can be searched in real-time. With this launch, customers can take advantage of the data to significantly speed up and improve their malware research capabilities in the Security Operations Center (SOC). Key Capabilities of CrowdStrike Falcon MalQuery: CrowdStrike Falcon MalQuery is available to existing CrowdStrike customers as an additional service and can be purchased as a stand-alone offering by new customers. With this new capability, customers gain the following significant advantages from the CrowdStrike Falcon platform:
At the core of the CrowdStrike Falcon Search Engine is patent-pending indexing technology. This index enables the engine to search across file metadata, the binary contents of the file itself, as well as the threat intelligence related to the file. The CrowdStrike Falcon Search Engine binary index is game-changing for security researchers with the scope of the data it indexes and the speed at which it can be searched, delivering only the most relevant search results in real-time. The CrowdStrike Falcon® platform enables search over all collected content: endpoint data, intelligence indicators and malware corpus. Its Investigate module allows CrowdStrike Falcon platform customers to search real-time and historical data for their enterprise with zero impact to their endpoints. With this announcement, CrowdStrike is also launching Intel (News - Alert) indicator search that enable rapid consumption of search results without requiring the review of large contextual sources. As a result, for the first time, cybersecurity professionals have a tool that can keep up with rapid change arising from polymorphic malware and rapidly evolving threat variants. Supporting Quotes: George Kurtz, CrowdStrike's co-founder and chief executive officer "Today's threat landscape demands speed and precision - some of the best minds in cybersecurity are hampered by slow search tools and limited data sets. We believe that real-time data access is how cybersecurity professionals can get ahead of modern-day threats, and we've built the fastest AI-enabled platform that makes this possible. With today's launch, we are fundamentally changing the game by empowering threat researchers to outpace the adversary with this solution. CrowdStrike Falcon Search Engine enables the next-gen SOC to be more productive and acts as a powerful force multiplier for security teams." Robert Westervelt (News - Alert), research manager, IDC "CrowdStrike is providing an innovative resource that incident responders can use to thoroughly investigate and determine the full extent of potential threats. This comprehensive threat search tool addresses a significant market gap frequently hampering the ability of security teams from rapidly providing adequate protection against emerging threats and targeted attacks. The introduction of the Falcon Search Engine eliminates the blind spots and gives defenders the agility and accuracy required to create well-formed protection rules."
