Detect Exposures and Prioritize Threats to Connected Medical Devices
The lightweight Falcon sensor will use threat intelligence and AI-driven analytics to detect, prevent, and respond to ransomware, malware, and zero-day attacks targeting XIoT devices — all within organizations’ existing SOC workflows. Security teams will be able to gain a holistic view and context so they can identify vulnerabilities and exposures and prioritize risks to their IT, IoT, and now IoMT assets from a single console.

Unified Healthcare Cybersecurity with the Falcon Platform
Integrating IoMT threat data into IT security workflows will be able to improve efficiencies and accelerate response times for under-resourced healthcare security teams. In addition to Falcon for XIoT’s expansion to clinical assets, security operations processes for medical devices and other XIoT assets will be able to plug into CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM, CrowdStrike Falcon® Fusion SOAR, and other response processes to achieve streamlined detection, investigation, and triage across the clinical SOC. With a stronger correlation of protocols in the SOC, healthcare security teams will be able to manage a converged process across IT and XIoT assets.
Our cloud-native architecture enables real-time detection and response capabilities, which are critical in healthcare environments where minutes matter. As cyberattacks, evolving industry security guidelines, and continued compliance enforcement continue to affect the healthcare sector, CrowdStrike is best prepared to help organizations detect and stop threats.
Additional Resources
With this announcement, Falcon for XIoT will extend CrowdStrike’s robust endpoint detection and response (EDR) and CrowdStrike Falcon® Exposure Management capabilities to clinical assets. This will enable organizations to quickly identify high-risk devices, classify and assess vulnerabilities, and efficiently prioritize threats to mitigate patient risk, operational failures, and hospital workflow disruptions.
CrowdStrike is uniquely positioned to stop breaches in healthcare environments. With deep experience in serving thousands, including eight of the top ten healthcare organizations, the Falcon platform delivers comprehensive security through a single solution that protects traditional endpoints, cloud workloads, identity systems, and XIoT devices across hospital networks.
