CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform now includes the XIoT category, a new buzzword for “Industry 4.0” business.

CrowdStrike Falcon is the platform for Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and extendency to recognition and reaction (XDR). Today the company is adding the ability to monitor XIoT cases. Never heard of XIoT? The security companies have found a new buzzword to describe things within the IoT such as operational technology, medical devices and industrial affairs (OT or Industry 4.0).

The new term encompasses physical devices connected to the Internet in a variety of contexts, including industrial, healthcare and commercial settings. According to CrowdStrike, this sector is growing at lightning speed, with 70 percent of companies expecting traditional IT and emerging OT to converge by 2025.

To jump on this trend, the Falcon platform is enriched. With Falcon Insight for IoT, OT environments can enforce threat rules at a granular level and deliver high-value detections, such as B. Ransomware, protect against disasters.

Need additional tags? Thanks to AI and ML, threats are detected faster to prevent them business continuity to ensure. According to CrowdStrike, Falcon Insight for IoT provides tailored threat detection without sacrificing uptime.

Organizations can also use the service to quickly identify threats through integrated response measures. For example, consider USB device control to minimize service disruption. The new feature has been tested and validated by numerous ICS providers for easy deployment.
