What types of data does CrowdStrike Falcon analyze for threat detection?

CrowdStrike Falcon analyzes a comprehensive range of data to effectively detect threats. This includes file activities, process behaviors, network connections, and user events. By examining these various data types, Falcon can identify suspicious patterns and behaviors that may indicate a potential security incident.

File activities provide insights into the files being accessed, modified, or created, which helps detect malicious file manipulations. Process behaviors allow tracking of how applications and services behave within a system, looking for anomalies that may suggest compromise. Network connections are crucial for monitoring communications to and from devices, enabling the detection of unusual network activity that might signal an attack. Lastly, analyzing user events helps in understanding user behavior and identifying any unauthorized or risky actions.

This multi-faceted approach enhances the ability to identify and respond to a wide array of threats, making it significantly more effective than focusing on just one type of data, such as network traffic, system performance metrics, or user activity logs alone.
