Falcon Identity protection

CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security enables frictionless identity security with real-time threat prevention and IT policy enforcement using identity, behavioral, and risk analytics. Since 80% of breaches involve compromised credentials, segmenting identities, automating enforcement, and using risk based conditional access to verify authentication traffic can reduce risk and reduce IT complexity.

Pros

    Microsoft Defender for Identity

    Microsoft Defender for Identity enables you to integrate Microsoft Defender for Identity with Defender for Endpoint, for an even more complete threat protection solution. While Defender for Identity monitors the traffic on your domain controllers, Defender for Endpoint monitors your endpoints, together providing a single interface from which you can protect your environment.
