CrowdStrike is excited to announce CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen Identity Security, a new solution built to protect every identity — human, non-human, and AI agent — across on-premises, cloud, and SaaS environments. This new offering addresses the growing need for comprehensive protection throughout the full identity lifecycle.3. Identity Threat Detection and Response: Detects and stops identity-based attacks in real time. Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security uses cross-domain telemetry and agentic AI to provide autonomous threat analysis, detection triage, policy enforcement, and response in real time.
See Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security in action, proactively protecting identities and dynamically enforcing security across all of your environments.
All of this is possible with the unified capabilities of the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon® platform, which empowers organizations to detect and stop adversaries with a single lightweight sensor and unified management console.
Introducing Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security
With Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security, organizations can strengthen their identity security posture without waiting for integrations or accepting fragmented identity capabilities fraught with complexity and security gaps. CrowdStrike delivers real-time visibility, dynamic access enforcement, and autonomous response across every identity and environment.
1. Initial Access Prevention: Proactively prevents adversaries from establishing initial access by continuously assessing identity risk and automatically securing identities. Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security uses real-time endpoint signals, industry-leading threat intelligence, and AI trained on trillions of events to authenticate trusted identities and dynamically block threats.
Organizations reliant on traditional identity and access management (IAM) and privileged access management (PAM) solutions are unprepared to face modern identity attacks. These solutions are primarily built to manage access — not secure it. And while businesses have tried bolting on security controls or using legacy vendors that add tools through acquisition, this fragmented approach creates complexity and security blind spots.

Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security is a unified solution that delivers end-to-end visibility, control, and protection of identities, privileges, and risk across the full attack chain in hybrid identity environments. . Organizations achieve complete visibility into all identities — human, non-human, and AI agent — across critical domains.
4. SaaS Identity Security: Identifies misconfigurations, flags risky behaviors, and governs overprovisioned access for all identities across cloud-first applications.
Many modern attacks begin with compromised identities — stolen credentials, exploited logins, and misused privileged access. Attackers move rapidly, pivoting across endpoints, cloud environments, and SaaS applications. Relying on fragmented solutions increases complexity and confusion, leaving organizations vulnerable. Legacy IAM and PAM solutions promise security but often create uncertainty as security teams are forced to guess which of their assets and identities are being protected.
How Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security Works
Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security combines initial access prevention, modern secure privileged access, identity threat detection and response (ITDR), SaaS identity security, and agentic identity protection to stop identity-driven breaches across domains. Only CrowdStrike unifies these capabilities in a single platform, delivered through a single sensor and managed through a single console.
This new solution unifies four core capabilities:
The Power of the Platform
2. Modern Secure Privileged Access: Enforces just-in-time access and eliminates standing privileges. Our “zero standing privileges” approach automatically provisions privileged access when needed and revokes it immediately after, minimizing the identity attack surface. Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security delivers continuous, risk-based access control by assessing and enforcing privileges based on real-time risk to ensure users and devices have the exact privileges they need.
CrowdStrike provides one platform, one sensor, and one console for complete protection. The Falcon platform uniquely combines identity, endpoint, cloud, and SaaS security to deliver the comprehensive protection organizations need. Through the Falcon platform, Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security provides the capabilities required to defend against modern identity-focused attacks. By correlating real-time activity across all domains, CrowdStrike proactively detects and disrupts cross-domain attacks at the point of entry, preventing identity-driven breaches before they escalate.
Identity threats are evolving as organizations adopt more SaaS applications and autonomous AI agents, each of which are backed by human and non-human identities with persistent access to systems, applications, and sensitive data. The attack surface is quickly expanding as identities proliferate across hybrid environments and privileges are added across workflows. Adversaries target a broad spectrum of identities to subtly gain access and move across identity, endpoint, cloud, and SaaS domains.
