Zscaler + CrowdStrike
Zscaler + CrowdStrike
End-to-end protection from device to application secures work beyond the perimeter
Securing work beyond the perimeter
In the new work-from-anywhere reality, the perimeter has dissolved. Securing access to business applications must start with a zero trust architecture that takes user context, device posture, and access policy into consideration. Zscaler and CrowdStrike make securing this new world simple.
Complex and ineffective
Traditional security can't protect users outside your perimeter. Users on the network are implicitly trusted, potentially giving them overprivileged access.
Access without context
Disparate security tools are difficult to manage and make it challenging to derive timely insights out of large amounts of data without context
High operational cost
Siloed teams with multiple systems to support require a large investment in people to bridge the gaps and operate effectively.
Hidden risks
Separate visibility and context between endpoint and network security teams can lead to unknown risks that take months to discover and investigate.
Zscaler + CrowdStrike: End-to-end security
Context sharing and automated response
The integration of the Zscaler and CrowdStrike platforms ensure administrators have a real-time, end-to-end insight into the threat landscape to minimize attack surface, prevent lateral movement and deliver rapid threat detection and response.
Minimize the attack surface
Adaptive zero trust access to all apps based on device health
The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™ and CrowdStrike integration provides the ability to assess device health and automatically implement appropriate access policies
- Continuous assessment of the device posture using ZTA score: Only users that meet the Zero Trust Assessment (ZTA) score threshold are allowed to access sensitive applications.
- Increased security: A real-time posture check of device compliance enhances security in a work-from-anywhere world.
Threat intelligence and telemetry sharing
- Cross-platform visibility: Custom blocklists are automatically updated. Zscaler shares log files with CrowdStrike LogScale Services, enhancing mutual visibility without adding complexity.
- Proactive threat prevention: The Zero Trust Exchange blocks threat vectors inline, leveraging new network intelligence from CrowdStrike Falcon Threat Intelligence to prevent impact on endpoints.
- Speed and agility: Endpoint and network context enable speedy threat investigation for effective detection and decision-making.
Prevent lateral movement
Rapid zero day threat detection and remediation
Zscaler Sandbox intercepts unknown files before they reach the endpoint and detects zero-day threats, correlates with CrowdStrike telemetry to identify impacted devices, and enacts rapid response with a cross-platform quarantine workflow.
- End-to-end visibility and rapid response: Comprehensive visibility from the network and endpoint platforms provides a complete view of the threat landscape. Automatic cross-platform correlation and workflow makes investigation and response faster.
- Reduced risk: Layered protection with Zscaler inline detection minimizes endpoint exposure to the network attack vector. Compromised endpoints are quarantined quickly to reduce lateral spread of infection.
Threat intel sharing by Zscaler Deception
Zscaler Deception deploys decoys, lures, and honeypots to detect active threats and share the gathered threat intel with the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, enhancing defense and response capabilities.
- Zscaler Deception detects active threats and shares the high-fidelity indicators and telemetry with CrowdStrike’s threat intel platform, enabling speedy response to stop active attacks in their tracks
- Driven by the high-confidence alerts, administrators can leverage Falcon Fusion to build workflows and automate response actions.
Rapidly detect and respond to threats
Automated workflows with XDR-enabled sharing
- Cross-platform visibility: Sharing Zscaler network telemetry with Falcon InsightXDR provides enhanced context for detecting potential threats.
- Proactive threat prevention: Once a threat is detected, Falcon Fusion workflow engine triggers a request to Zscaler to add a user into a more restrictive user group. This enables the Zero Trust Exchange to apply a more stringent policy to limit access to critical applications, ranging from access by browser isolation only to quarantining the user altogether.
- Speed and agility: Endpoint and network context enable speedy threat investigation for effective detection and decision-making.
