CrowdStrike Introduces Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security: A Unified Solution for Comprehensive Identity Protection Across the Attack Chain

CrowdStrike has introduced Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security, a unified solution for protecting all identity types across the attack chain. The platform provides real-time protection against identity-driven breaches, enhancing security without requiring integration complexity. It delivers end-to-end visibility and control across hybrid environments, including on-premises, cloud, and SaaS. The solution offers four core capabilities: Initial Access Prevention, Modern Privileged Access Management (PAM), Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR), and SaaS Identity Security.

CrowdStrike has introduced Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security, a unified solution designed to protect all identity types across the attack chain. The platform provides real-time protection against identity-driven breaches, enhancing security without requiring integration complexity. It delivers end-to-end visibility and control across hybrid environments, including on-premises, cloud, and SaaS.

The solution offers four core capabilities: Initial Access Prevention, Modern Privileged Access Management (PAM), Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR), and SaaS Identity Security. These capabilities work together to secure human, non-human, and AI agent identities, addressing the expanding attack surface and the growing need for comprehensive protection.

Initial Access Prevention proactively prevents adversaries from establishing initial access by continuously assessing identity risk and automatically securing identities. It uses real-time endpoint signals, industry-leading threat intelligence, and AI trained on trillions of events to authenticate trusted identities and dynamically block threats.

Modern Privileged Access Management (PAM) enforces just-in-time access and eliminates standing privileges. This approach automatically provisions privileged access when needed and revokes it immediately after, minimizing the identity attack surface. Continuous, risk-based access control ensures users and devices have the exact privileges they need.

Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) detects and stops identity-based attacks in real time. It uses cross-domain telemetry and agentic AI to provide autonomous threat analysis, detection triage, policy enforcement, and response.

SaaS Identity Security identifies misconfigurations, flags risky behaviors, and governs overprovisioned access for all identities across cloud-first applications. This capability ensures that even minor misconfigurations or excessive permissions do not create entry points for infiltration and lateral movement.

CrowdStrike's unified platform, delivered through a single sensor and managed through a single console, empowers organizations to detect and stop adversaries with a single lightweight sensor and unified management console. This approach reduces complexity and security blind spots, providing a robust security posture against modern identity-focused attacks.

In a recent GigaOm Radar Report for SaaS Security Posture Management, CrowdStrike was named a Leader and Outperformer, receiving perfect scores in critical evaluation areas [1]. The recognition underscores CrowdStrike's comprehensive security capabilities and its competitive edge in securing identities and preventing SaaS breaches.

Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security is available today, without delays or integration complexity, through the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon® platform. This unified approach to identity security addresses the evolving threat landscape and provides organizations with the protection they need to defend against modern identity-focused attacks.
