In a significant move, CrowdStrike has introduced an innovative release of CrowdStrike Falcon® Go, designed to furnish small and medium businesses (SMBs) with robust cybersecurity defenses against ransomware attacks and data breaches. The user-friendly Falcon Go enables SMBs to effortlessly deploy cutting-edge protection with just a few clicks, effectively thwarting modern cyber threats often overlooked by conventional antivirus solutions. By introducing AI-powered cybersecurity accessible to organizations of all sizes, CrowdStrike is redefining the standard for SMB cybersecurity.
Traditional antivirus solutions employed by SMBs struggle to keep pace with the escalating volume and sophistication of ransomware and cyberattacks. Powered by CrowdStrike’s AI-native Falcon platform, Falcon Go provides unparalleled protection and recently achieved a 100% ransomware prevention score in SE Labs testing. The swift download and installation of Falcon Go allow organizations to promptly safeguard their operations, simplifying cybersecurity for users of varying technical proficiency.
Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer at CrowdStrike, emphasized the pivotal role of Falcon Go in mitigating risks for SMBs, stating, “Cyberattacks and ransomware should be words that no SMB should ever worry about, but the failure of traditional antivirus products put these companies at risk.” He further highlighted the potential catastrophic consequences, such as business disruption, legal ramifications, and financial losses, that arise from such events.
Falcon Go’s latest release aims to address the existing gaps in SMB cybersecurity offerings, providing AI-driven protection, an intuitive user experience, and the critical outcome of preventing breaches. This ensures that every dollar invested in cybersecurity delivers tangible value, enabling SMBs to redirect their focus towards business growth without the constant threat of cyberattacks.
Key features of the Falcon Go release include:
1. Immediate Deployment: Pre-configured protection facilitates seamless and instant deployment, ensuring swift and efficient management of devices.
2. Verification of Protection: A unified home screen offers a straightforward overview of device protection, threat activity, and the product’s efficacy in halting attacks.
3. Data Theft Prevention: Full visibility and control over USB media prevent both accidental and intentional exfiltration of company data.
