SecurityScorecard announced an integration with CrowdStrike, a provider in cloud-delivered protection of endpoints, cloud workloads, identity and data.
With this integration, CrowdStrike customers can view SecurityScorecard’s analysis of their external cyber posture within the Falcon platform via SecurityScorecard’s context enrichment application available via the CrowdStrike Store. In addition, joint customers that leverage both platforms can integrate signals from CrowdStrike into their respective scorecards.
Today, many traditional methods of measuring cybersecurity risk provide limited visibility, rely on point-in-time assessments and uncover critical risks too late. Security teams must assess the organisation’s cyber health and third parties in real-time to fortify security posture and prevent breaches. The new integration unifies and mitigates internal and external risks. CrowdStrike secures the internal environment with high-fidelity detection and response capabilities of the Falcon platform powered by the CrowdStrike Security Cloud, while SecurityScorecard monitors the external portion of the attack surface.
“For organisations to adequately protect against cyber risk, they need to make smarter, faster decisions informed by continuous internal and external threat monitoring,” said Aleksandr Yampolskiy, co-founder and CEO of SecurityScorecard. “We chose CrowdStrike to provide an integration that empowers organisations with the unique ability to be significantly more proactive against breaches and reinforce their security posture in real-time.”
SecurityScorecard and CrowdStrike provide continuous visibility into an organisation’s holistic cyber risk. This includes the ability to monitor the suppliers, vendors and partners that represent an organisation’s “extended perimeter,” which has become a vector of choice for bad actors in today’s threat environment. Customers can view SecurityScorecard’s easy-to-understand A-F grade scale within the Falcon console to mitigate breach risk and gain actionable details for every issue detected across external environments. Additionally, they can view continuously refreshed sub-scores that measure performance across ten areas of cyber risk to improve detection and response capabilities.
“Monitoring cyber risk using internal and external perspectives bolsters an organisation’s ability to thwart threats before they wreak havoc on corporate networks, possibly affecting customers, partners and other third parties,” said Geoff Swaine, vice president of Global Programs, Store and Technology Alliances at CrowdStrike. “As the sophistication of threats and cyber risk escalates, it’s imperative for organisations to maintain visibility into all vectors that can be attacked across environments. This integration introduces a valuable new perspective that organisations can use to stay ahead of adversaries.”
