CrowdStrike Falcon for IT connects security and IT operations on one platform. It gives teams the visibility to identify vulnerabilities fast and the automation to remediate them directly on endpoints.
Here is a familiar day in IT: The security team finds a critical vulnerability on several machines running a vulnerable version of a Java library. The security specialists move quickly. They identify the affected devices and create a bulk ticket for the IT operations team. Then they wait for the patches to be deployed.
CrowdStrike Falcon for IT helps shorten the time between detecting a critical vulnerability and fixing it.
Falcon for IT is a module within the CrowdStrike Falcon platform. It uses the lightweight Falcon sensor already deployed for EDR and XDR, connecting the security platform with IT operations and automation.
That means no additional agents. No separate infrastructure. IT and security teams get real-time visibility into every endpoint from one central console and can execute remediation workflows automatically.
At the center of Falcon for IT is its osquery integration. Similar to SQL database queries, osquery lets teams inspect running processes, installed software, user accounts, BitLocker status, and more. More than 260 osquery tables reflect the current state of each endpoint.
Charlotte AI, CrowdStrike’s AI assistant, makes the process even faster. Security teams can ask questions in natural language, such as: “Which hosts have BitLocker disabled?”. Falcon for IT uses Charlotte AI to translate those questions into precise osquery queries.
That saves time. More importantly, it accelerates incident response when every minute matters.
With Falcon for IT, security findings no longer have to sit in a ticket queue. Remediation scripts, called Automated Actions, are stored centrally and rolled out to all relevant hosts with a click or through rules-based automation.
According to CrowdStrike data, 81% of organizations using Falcon for IT achieve faster remediation. The platform also supports tool consolidation. Separate tools for endpoint management, patching, and inventory become less necessary.
Falcon for IT is more than another Endpoint Management tool. It supports the convergence of security and IT operations in one platform.
Organizations already using CrowdStrike can gain immediate value without adding operational complexity. For everyone else, Falcon for IT is a strong reason to take a closer look at the CrowdStrike Falcon platform.
