Cyber-attackers are people, and people are adaptable and creative. If defenders rely solely on technology to counter attacks, they will be put at an extreme disadvantage. A good hunting team not only discovers things that automated response systems might have missed, but also learns from past incidents and leverages accumulated crowdsourced data, analyzing it to provide customers with guidelines for responding when malicious activity is detected.
Managed hunting like this forms the cornerstone of next-generation endpoint security. Without it, customers are left with only understaffed in-house teams to monitor suspicious activity 24/7, with no guidance on how to respond to highly sophisticated attacks. Managed hunting combines the intelligence of an expert defense team to counter the ingenuity of persistent enemies.
KDDI Europe's IT Operations Centre, CrowdStrike's expert threat hunting team, and security analysts together use the robust data collected by Falcon to stop attacks that other systems and technologies cannot detect.
