Maximize Crowdstrike Falcon Insight EDR's Detection Capabilities with Specific Detection Content

In the dynamic and fast paced world of cybersecurity, developing effective detection rules is pivotal for Security Operations Centers (SOCs). It's a complex task, demanding extensive technical knowledge and experience, similar to writing software code. 

That’s why we’re excited to announce the newest addition to the Picus Detection Content Library, Crowdstrike detection content, designed to improve detection accuracy for Crowdstrike Falcon Insight EDR. By combining the advanced capabilities of Picus Security Validation Platform with CrowdStrike's robust endpoint security solutions, we're setting a new standard in proactive threat defense. This powerful combination is designed to keep your business ahead of the curve in the ever-evolving battle against cyber threats.

How Crowdstrike and Picus Work Together

Detection rules are the linchpin of an effective cybersecurity strategy. They act as sentinels, identifying potential threats and alerting the SOC to take action. We understand a majority of security analysts can understand rules but only a few technically skilled security analysts have the time or ability to write effective, actionable rules in specific EDR or SIEM tools. For Crowdstrike Falcon Insight EDR users our team has developed two content types for CrowdStrike: Event Search and Indicators of Attack (IOAs). Through the Picus Blue Team we have developed over 200 pieces of content, each created to address over 300 unique attack actions. With Crowdstrike detection content we have streamlined the rule creation and implementation process, reduced the time and expertise required, while allowing your team to focus on proactive security measures rather than getting bogged down in the intricacies of rule development.

Navigating Potential Risk With Picus and Crowdstrike

Let’s look at how your organization can use Picus Security Control Validation and the new Crowdstrike detection content to improve its security posture. During a weekly security assessment, the bank's security team, using Picus Security Control Validation, discovered a vulnerability in their system. A novel malware attack had slipped past the bank’s Crowdstrike Falcon Insight EDR tool, signaling a critical gap in their defenses. 

The team was able to act quickly and use the Picus Detection Content Library to identify and implement a specific Crowdstrike detection rule tailored to this new malware threat. The security team swiftly put the new rule into action and conducted an attack simulation. This proactive approach ensured that the new Crowdstrike rule was effective, alerting the team to the threat and closing the previously identified gap.

Time Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness

By providing a ready-to-use library of Crowdstrike detection content you can reduce the time and resources required to develop and maintain these rules. This efficiency translates to cost savings and allows you to focus on other critical aspects of cybersecurity.

Addressing Advanced Threats

The complexity of modern cyber threats demands equally sophisticated detection mechanisms. The Picus Detection Content library is designed to address advanced and evolving threats, offering a depth of coverage that is often challenging to achieve with in-house resources.

Reducing Alerting Gaps and Noise

One of the most common issues faced by SOCs is the balance between alerting gaps and alert noise. A limited or overly generic ruleset can lead to missed threats or an overwhelming number of false positives. Picus’ Crowdstrike Detection Content provides comprehensive coverage without overwhelming analysts with irrelevant alerts.

What’s Next for Crowdstrike and Picus

The addition of CrowdStrike detection content is a significant enhancement of the Picus Detection Content Library and gives you greater detection accuracy when using CrowdStrike Falcon Insight EDR. As new threats emerge, so will the Crowdstrike detection content, ensuring our detection library evolves and is as dynamic as the threats your organization faces. This advancement empowers security teams with enriched detection coverage and visibility.
