Falcon Cloud Security
By CrowdStrike
CrowdStrike's CNAPP, pairing agentless posture assessment with the same Falcon sensor used for endpoint protection to add runtime cloud workload defense — one agent and console spanning endpoints and cloud infrastructure. Detections feed the same threat intelligence and managed hunting services as the rest of the Falcon platform.

- Misconfiguration detection (CSPM) — supported
- Flags cloud configuration drift against benchmarks like CIS and provider best practices.
- Agentless workload scanning — supported
- Scans workloads via cloud provider APIs or snapshots without deploying agents.
- Cloud entitlement management (CIEM) — supported
- Identifies excessive or unused permissions across cloud identities.
- Attack path analysis — supported
- Correlates findings across identity, network, and data exposure to surface exploitable attack paths.
- Infrastructure-as-code scanning — not supported
- Catches misconfigurations in Terraform and CloudFormation before they're deployed.
- Vulnerability prioritization — supported
- Finds and ranks OS and package CVEs across cloud workloads by real-world exploitability.
- Compliance benchmark mapping — supported
- Continuously maps posture to frameworks like CIS, SOC 2, and PCI.
