CrowdStrike launches Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR with AI integration

CrowdStrike has introduced Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR, a new security solution that integrates generative AI with third-party data from the Falcon platform. The new offering is designed to enable security partners to provide customers with the tools needed to address cyberattacks swiftly.

The Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR combines the capabilities of Falcon Next-Gen SIEM and generative AI to manage and correlate extensive data. This aims to enhance the adoption of next-gen SIEM and SOC transformation services.

Tom Etheridge, Chief Global Services Officer at CrowdStrike, emphasised the importance of speed in combating cyber threats. "Today, time is the greatest enemy. Security teams need to operate at the speed of the adversary to stop breaches. Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR is the force multiplier that enables partners and customers to stay ahead of modern attacks and secure critical assets," he said.

According to CrowdStrike, the rapidly increasing velocity of cyberattacks, now measured in minutes, necessitates AI-native technology and expert security services for rapid detection, threat hunting, and remediation across multiple domains such as identity, cloud, endpoint, and third-party data sources. The company claims their new MDR offering delivers the fastest detection and broadest coverage in the industry, validated by record-setting results in MITRE Engenuity's ATT&CK Evaluations.

Simon Convery, Head of Global Partnerships at NETbuilder, spoke positively about the partnership with CrowdStrike. "Partnering with CrowdStrike empowers us to protect enterprises with advanced technology and specialised managed security services. We help our customers navigate SIEM migration and accelerate SOC transformation by leveraging the powerful AI-native Falcon platform and Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR service to enhance security operations and ensure resilient, proactive defences against evolving cyber threats," Convery noted.

Kevin Nejad, Founder and CEO at Vijilan Security, expressed excitement over the collaboration. "We're excited to partner with CrowdStrike, combining our 24/7 SOC monitoring and Log Ingestion services with Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR's industry-leading technology and managed detection and response service. Together, we deliver enhanced security, providing exceptional value to our joint customers," he said.

Noel Allnutt, CEO of Sekuro, highlighted the benefits of integrating Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR into their services. "Together with CrowdStrike, Sekuro is committed to protecting joint customers with the world's most advanced technology and managed security expertise. Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR takes our partnership and integration to the next level, delivering lightning-fast threat detection and response, reducing complexity, simplifying security operations and strengthening our ability to realise our shared objectives," Allnutt stated.

The Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR service promises faster detections, accelerated responses, unified visibility, and comprehensive remediation. CrowdStrike asserts that the new solution delivers the fastest mean-time-to-detect (MTTD) in the industry, as recorded by MITRE. Moreover, the platform's native workflow automation and generative AI-powered incident capabilities reportedly speed up analyst operations by 75%.

Etheridge reiterated CrowdStrike's commitment to innovation in the MDR space. "We pioneered the MDR category to address the cybersecurity skills gap and protect customers with cutting-edge technology. Our relentless innovation continues to lead the MDR space forward," he said.

Craig Robinson, IDC Research VP of Security Services, highlighted the significance of integrating diverse data sources for effective security. "The fuel that feeds the GenAI revolution partially lies in pulling in disparate data sources into a cohesive outcome. Pairing the capabilities of Falcon Next-Gen SIEM to properly ingest data regardless of the source, along with an expanding set of AI security use cases that correlate this data to detect attacks and speed up response times, is a key next-generation capability for the market to consider utilizing," Robinson explained.

Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR aims to offer advanced threat detection, investigation, and response capabilities to meet the growing challenges of cybersecurity. CrowdStrike continues to be recognised for its innovation and leadership in the MDR sector.
