The company's Falcon® platform now fills the gaps left by conventional IAM and PAM by offering automated cross-domain defense, advanced privileged access, and phishing-resistant MFA.

In order to provide comprehensive security for all identities—human, non-human, and AI agent—across the entire hybrid identity lifecycle, CrowdStrike announced significant advancements in Falcon® Next-Gen Identity Security. CrowdStrike advances identity security beyond conventional identity and access (IAM) and privileged access management (PAM) solutions by removing blind spots and combining fragmented controls with phishing-resistant MFA, contemporary privileged access, and automated response.

Identity is the first line of contemporary assaults, according to Elia Zaitsev, chief technical officer of CrowdStrike. Access across identities for human users, robots, and AI agents that function dynamically in hybrid contexts is continuously changing in today's workplace. The purpose of traditional IAM and PAM was to control access, not to thwart enemies. CrowdStrike secures every identity across the assault and environment, filling in the holes that attackers take advantage of with these disjointed solutions. Their most recent developments expand the overall benefit of Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security by offering improved automation, simplified response, and deeper insight.

Critical holes are not filled by IAM and PAM, despite the addition of MFA and point capabilities. The inability to communicate context between hybrid systems and the attack chain makes preventing identity assaults more difficult. In order to prevent identity-driven breaches across domains, Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security was specifically designed with unified initial access, contemporary privileged access management, identity threat detection and response (ITDR), SaaS identity security, and agentic identity protection.

FalconID, a phishing-resistant passwordless multi-factor authentication system based on FIDO2 standards, is one of the latest developments. It provides security-first identity verification, preventing attackers before they log in. Delivered via the Falcon for Mobile app, FalconID uses blocking strategies that circumvent conventional MFA and is fueled by real-time identification and endpoint information for more intelligent access choices. In order to limit standing rights and lower risk, the second one incorporates Enhanced Falcon Privileged Access, which streamlines intricate AD and Entra ID settings, automates grants and revocations using Microsoft Teams and Fusion SOAR, and provides real-time insight into access patterns. Identity-driven Case Management is a feature of the third one that automatically correlates detections into a single Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM case. This case is enhanced with endpoint, cloud, and SaaS telemetry to provide comprehensive context on cross-domain attacks, speeding up investigation and response.
