Cloud computing adoption has revolutionized organizations in recent years, thanks to its ability to prevent data loss, enhance security through centralized management, increase resource scalability, and reduce costs. Most organizations are already reaping the benefits of moving to cloud computing.
Along with the benefits of cloud adoption come new and evolving risks. Adversaries are growing faster and more persistent in cloud-focused attacks, exploiting vulnerabilities such as system misconfigurations, identity mismanagement, and software vulnerabilities. CrowdStrike’s 2024 Global Threat Report highlights a 75% increase in cloud breaches in 2023, with incidents involving cloud-focused threat actors increasing 110% year-over-year. Organizations must prioritize robust cloud security measures to prevent these attacks.
CrowdStrike has emerged as a leader in cloud security, providing organizations with the technology they need to protect their cloud applications and infrastructure as the attack surface expands. CrowdStrike Falcon® Cloud Security is a unified, agent-based and agentless platform that delivers deep visibility, detection, and real-time response across the cloud while stopping threats in real time with advanced runtime protection.
At Fal.Con 2024, taking place September 16-19 in Las Vegas, our Cloud Security Track will feature more than 30 sessions where attendees can learn about the latest innovations in Falcon Cloud Security and how to maximize their use of the Falcon platform, gain insight into the latest adversary intelligence, and explore key topics such as cloud detection and response, generative AI, data security, and securing cloud-native applications.
