CrowdStrike Empowers DevSecOps Teams to Strengthen and Streamline Cloud Security

Over the last decade, the swift adoption of cloud technology has heightened the complexity of IT environments and broadened the enterprise attack surface. To protect this growing infrastructure, organizations have adopted disparate cloud security solutions such as identity and access management (IAM) tools, application security tools and endpoint protection tools.

Unfortunately, this influx of point products only further complicates the IT environment and impedes visibility. Further, these solutions require manual correlation, which often leads to undetected misconfigurations and code vulnerabilities that expose cloud environments to attack.

Today's threat actors are constantly seeking the easiest ways to infiltrate organizations. They are eager to exploit these security gaps and can quickly move laterally in cloud environments. Businesses need a complete cloud security solution to protect code from build to runtime so they can detect and respond to cyberattacks.

Recent updates to CrowdStrike Falcon® Cloud Security accelerate vulnerability detection, improve open source integrations and simplify collaboration across DevSecOps - all capabilities organizations need to stop modern attacks targeting the cloud.

Let's take a closer look at them.

On-premises registry scanner: The new on-premises registry scanner in Falcon Cloud Security allows local scans for registries that cannot connect to the CrowdStrike Falcon® cybersecurity platform. This may happen, for example, if there are security policies that prohibit source code from leaving the customer's environment. This enables coverage across a customer's entire infrastructure.
