CrowdStrike Falcon Overview
CrowdStrike Falcon is an enterprise endpoint protection and detection-and-response (EDR) platform, not a consumer antivirus. Delivered through a lightweight agent managed from a cloud console, it protects organizations' devices using cloud-based analytics, behavioral detection, and threat intelligence to stop malware and detect sophisticated attacks, with response tools that let security teams investigate and contain incidents. Because it is enterprise software, it is deployed and configured centrally by IT/security teams rather than downloaded and installed by individual home users. It is a paid, subscription product for organizations. It is widely used by large organizations and is well known in the security industry for its threat-intelligence and incident-response services. The official CrowdStrike Falcon download is linked on this page, straight from CrowdStrike,.
