CrowdStrike Unveils Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security, the First Unified Solution to Protect Every Identity Across the Attack Chain
Only CrowdStrike unifies initial access, privileged access, ITDR, and SaaS security for every human, non-human, and AI agent identity into a single platform � delivered today, without delays or integration complexity
“Organizations need trusted identity security now, not months or years from now. CrowdStrike provides what customers need most in a unified platform: modern identity security by design, without architectural trade-offs and integration debt," said Mike Sentonas, president, CrowdStrike. "Access in today’s enterprise is dynamic and unpredictable, with identities spanning users, machines, and AI agents operating across hybrid environments in real time. The Falcon platform was built to manage this complexity, providing the speed, scale, and precision organizations need to stop modern identity attacks.�
Identity has become the primary path adversaries take to compromise an organization. Attackers increasingly exploit a broad spectrum of identities that span human users, service accounts (non-human identities), SaaS credentials, and now, autonomous AI agents. Each agent represents a superhuman identity with persistent access to systems, applications, and sensitive data. These non-human agent identities dramatically increase the size and severity of the attack surface: more identities across more environments, more privileges across more workflows, and more opportunity for adversaries to move faster than defenders can respond. Modern adversaries exploit this access to move seamlessly across domains � endpoint, identity, cloud, and SaaS � leaving organizations that rely on traditional IAM and legacy PAM tools exposed to cross-domain attacks.
Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security closes the gaps that adversaries exploit with a unified solution that delivers continuous protection across identity types (human, non-human and AI agent), environments, and stages of the identity attack chain. From initial access to lateral movement, CrowdStrike protects human, non-human, and AI agents across hybrid environments, including on-prem, cloud, and SaaS. Powered by CrowdStrike’s agentic AI, organizations gain autonomous threat analysis and response that helps them detect, investigate, and stop identity-based attacks in real time, through a single unified platform.
Organizations can immediately strengthen their security posture without waiting for promised integrations, or accepting identity capabilities fragmented across multiple platforms that replicate the same complexity and security gaps as multi-vendor solutions. Delivered through a single lightweight sensor and managed from a single console, CrowdStrike gives defenders real-time visibility, dynamic access enforcement, and autonomous response across every identity and every domain.
CrowdStrike’s Unified Platform for Securing Every Identity Across Hybrid Environments
Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security unifies four core capabilities to deliver end-to-end visibility, control, and protection of identities, privileges, and risk across the full attack chain in hybrid identity environments:
- Initial Access Prevention: Leverages real-time endpoint signals, industry-leading threat intelligence, and AI trained on trillions of events to authenticate trusted identities, dynamically blocking threats before adversaries can gain initial access.
- Modern Privileged Access Management (PAM): Enforces just-in-time access and eliminates standing privileges. Dynamically adjusts access based on real-time risk to secure sensitive systems across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
- Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR): Detects and stops identity-based attacks in real time. Uses cross-domain telemetry and agentic AI to triage threats, enforce policy, and block lateral movement and privilege escalation.
- SaaS Identity Security: Identifies misconfigurations, flags risky behaviors, and governs overprovisioned access � for humans, non-human identities, and AI agents � across cloud-first applications.
Delivered through the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security replaces fragmented tools and disconnected workflows. Security teams gain real-time visibility, dynamic enforcement, and autonomous response across every identity and every domain. With rapid deployment and immediate time-to-value, organizations can strengthen their identity security posture today, without waiting for integrations or accepting security gaps.
