CrowdStrike has announced CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen Identity Security across the full hybrid identity lifecycle and every environment. The new offering protects identities across on-premises, cloud, SaaS, and workloads, removing security blind spots and replacing fragmented controls.
CrowdStrike unifies initial access prevention, modern privileged access management (PAM), identity threat detection and response (ITDR), SaaS identity security, and agentic identity protection to stop identity-driven breaches across domains.
“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.”
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.
