These reports include:With Falcon Cloud Security data correlated in Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, teams can detect cross-domain attack paths that begin in the cloud and move laterally, prioritize cloud risks using adversary telemetry and asset importance, and track them alongside endpoint and network exposures. They can also quickly generate audit-ready compliance alignment.
All of this is automatically correlated with threat intelligence and asset criticality to produce a single, prioritized view of exploitable exposures, which are then used to inform a broader executive report.
Reports are automatically delivered, on demand or scheduled, with no analyst overhead. What once required hours of manual effort can now be done in under five minutes, giving executives clarity and freeing practitioners to focus on real defense.
Most exposure reporting is still slow, error-prone, and disconnected from reality. Analysts spend hours collecting and formatting data using different tools that produce conflicting priorities. Reports are bloated with raw CVE lists that lack context and rarely connect to business impact. They are often delayed, arriving after the adversaries have moved.
How the Falcon Platform Automates Executive Reporting
While teams struggle with outdated reports, adversaries are seeking new ways to gain initial access. In 2024, 52% of exploited vulnerabilities observed by CrowdStrike were used for initial access, with most targeting internet-facing assets, unpatched workloads, or misconfigured cloud services.1
Charlotte AI Agentic Workflows, activated in Falcon Fusion SOAR, transform correlated Falcon Next-Gen SIEM data including vulnerabilities, asset criticality, dwell time, and adversary activity into clear, executive-ready reports.
Here, we explain how the Falcon platform automates reporting, starting with the full workflow then focusing on the roles of Falcon Exposure Management, Falcon Cloud Security, and Charlotte AI in generating and compiling reports.
Today’s security leaders can’t wait days for exposure reports. The reporting workflow built into the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon® platform helps organizations understand the most pressing risks they face.
The Falcon platform automates the reporting process end-to-end. This replaces hours of manual work and inconsistent outputs with a seamless workflow that connects detection, context, and executive reporting in one place.
Crafting an executive report is historically a time-consuming task. It can take days to gather data from scanners, consolidate spreadsheets, and format slides. And if leadership requests an immediate update, the entire process could grind to a halt.
Falcon Fusion SOAR automatically triggers reports on a schedule or in response to an event, reducing the delays associated with manually pulling data before every meeting. Security leaders no longer wait days for updates. Reports arrive in near real time, aligned to business cadence.
Charlotte AI reasons over Falcon Next-Gen SIEM’s correlated data and generates plain-language, business-aligned reports that map vulnerabilities to critical assets, highlight trending risk, and recommend prioritized actions. The result is a decision-ready report that CISOs and boards can use instantly.
Exposure Insights from Falcon Exposure Management
Step 1: Falcon Fusion SOAR Automates the Trigger
Falcon Next-Gen SIEM ingests these insights from Falcon Cloud Security:
- External attack surface management (EASM) findings: Internet-facing assets, the most common entry points
- Network vulnerability assessment (NVA) results: Unmanaged, agentless devices invisible to legacy tools
- Falcon sensor insights: Continuous vulnerability and misconfiguration data from endpoints and servers
Step 3: Charlotte AI Translates Data into Insights
Falcon Next-Gen SIEM ingests the below findings from Falcon Exposure Management:
Cloud Posture Insights from Falcon Cloud Security
Falcon Next-Gen SIEM continuously ingests findings from modules such as Falcon Exposure Management and Falcon Cloud Security, reducing the delays linked to juggling siloed tools and inconsistent outputs. It also enriches those findings with live threat intelligence. Instead of reconciling CSV exports or conflicting dashboards, analysts see one consistent, adversary-aware view of risk.
Traditional vulnerability scanners bury teams in static CVE lists with no context around adversary relevance or business impact. Falcon Exposure Management works with Falcon Next-Gen SIEM to deliver a smarter feed with real-time exposure data prioritized by exploitability and asset criticality.
- Misconfiguration findings across cloud services, roles, and permissions
- Unpatched workload vulnerabilities, including unmanaged containers and serverless functions
- Posture insights for internet-facing cloud assets
Cloud misconfigurations and unpatched workloads are top attack vectors, but most tools treat cloud risks as siloed. Falcon Cloud Security closes that gap by delivering real-time visibility across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
Charlotte AI: Powering Executive-Ready Reporting
Step 2: Falcon Next-Gen SIEM Aggregates and Normalizes Data
Together, these steps cut hours of manual reporting overhead, align security with business priorities, and provide leadership with current, adversary-informed insights. Internal testing shows the Falcon platform can generate a full report in under five minutes2 using these capabilities, turning reporting from a burden into a platform advantage.
How it works: CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM ingests findings from CrowdStrike Falcon® Exposure Management and CrowdStrike Falcon® Cloud Security. It centralizes exposure data, enriches it with adversary context, and turns it into actionable reports. When CrowdStrike Falcon® Fusion SOAR is automatically triggered, the built-in CrowdStrike® Charlotte AI™ Agentic Workflow reasons over the correlated data from Falcon Next-Gen SIEM to create executive-ready reports.
- A high-level summary of urgent risks mapped to critical assets
- Exposure trends and compliance status (e.g., KEV coverage)
- Recommended actions prioritized by exploitability and business value
- Asset-level context with source attribution (EASM, NVA, cloud, endpoint)
- Supporting resources to accelerate remediation
Analysts no longer need to work through lists of low-value CVEs. Instead, they can quickly see what is exposed and exploitable. This leads to faster triage, smarter ticketing, and reports they can hand to a CISO or board.
