“CrowdStrike’s cloud-native security platform employs an adversarial approach, consolidating telemetry from various security domains to deliver real-time threat correlation,” GigaOm writes in its report. “It provides customers with complete visibility into attack paths across the adversary toolkit, enabling organizations to detect, prevent, and respond to threats before they escalate.”
Falcon Shield is a powerful tool for organizations looking to manage the security risks associated with SaaS applications. With its comprehensive platform, robust policy management, and extensive SaaS support, Falcon Shield is well-positioned to help customers stay ahead of the evolving threat landscape. Falcon Shield supports all key market segments, from small and medium-sized business (SMB) to enterprise, with full support for managed service providers (MSPs).
When risks are identified, Falcon Shield provides real-time automated policy responses through CrowdStrike Falcon® Fusion SOAR. This may include actions like disabling users or revoking OAuth application access to contain threats before they escalate.
One Unified Platform for SaaS Security
And we continue to innovate. GigaOm highlights the rapid integration of Adaptive Shield, acquired by CrowdStrike in 2024, into the Falcon platform and notes our “aggressive roadmap” for continued development.
GigaOm also highlights CrowdStrike’s innovation in cybersecurity for the AI era with “GenAI tools that can monitor SaaS applications, enforce standards, manage AI settings to prevent data leakage, and identify shadow AI apps.” CrowdStrike delivers comprehensive protection for GenAI, AI agents, and embedded AI tools across SaaS environments, and is enhancing these capabilities through Charlotte AI.
Falcon platform modules work together to create a stronger defense. Falcon Shield delivers complete SaaS security posture management, protecting identities, configurations, and data across SaaS applications. Combined with CrowdStrike Falcon® Identity Protection and CrowdStrike Falcon® Cloud Security, CrowdStrike secures every human and non-human identity across on-prem, cloud, and SaaS environments.
The GigaOm Radar for SSPM highlights several capabilities driving Falcon Shield’s leadership, such as complete SaaS visibility. GigaOm emphasizes Falcon Shield’s support of over 175 prebuilt integrations, which enable continuous application discovery, integration mapping, and configuration monitoring across business-critical platforms. It also provides visibility into third-party risk and non-human identities: GigaOm highlights Falcon Shield’s ability to identify users with authorized third-party connections, evaluate permissions, and identify risks linked to human and non-human identities.
The SSPM Tool for Every Company
The unified nature of the Falcon platform empowers organizations to correlate threats across SaaS applications, endpoints, and identities to achieve full visibility into their security posture. As the enterprise attack surface evolves, this allows IT and security teams to identify and mitigate threats with speed and precision.
