CrowdStrike Falcon Platform for Government

The primary purpose of the CrowdStrike Falcon Platform is to provide organizations with a comprehensive cybersecurity solution that encompasses the following system functions:

• Endpoint Security – Advanced endpoint security capabilities to protect laptops, desktops, servers, and virtual machines from various cyber threats.
• Threat Intelligence – Cloud-based intelligence engine to collect and analyze threat data from millions of endpoints worldwide.
• Managed Security – Managed security services with a team of security experts actively monitoring and responding to security events.
• Cloud Security – Cloud security capabilities to protect organizations’ cloud environments.
• Security and IT Operations – Integration of security and IT operations for a unified view of security posture.
• Identity Protection – Identity protection capabilities to safeguard user identities and prevent unauthorized access.
• Next-Gen SIEM – Logging and analysis capabilities to collect, correlate, and analyze security events and logs.

IO-Infrastructure Operations will use CrowdStrike Falcon Platform as the VA Server Enterprise Endpoint Security (VASEES) to provide essential host-based protections, including firewall, antivirus, device control, application control, and Enhanced Detection & Response (EDR), crucial for securing all VA servers and offering a vital protection layer for GFE Servers. This comprehensive solution delivers an Enterprise Server Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) and EDR capabilities to proactively detect and respond to cybersecurity incidents through active cyber hunting, containment, remediation, and incident response. EPP offers near real-time threat monitoring and behavioral analysis to mitigate risks from malicious actors, while EDR provides continuous monitoring, data correlation, and automated response based on rules, ensuring increased visibility and responsiveness to advanced threats like APTs. Transitioning to a zero trust architecture, VASEES is indispensable for reducing the attack surface and protecting VA’s infrastructure with a robust set of host-based endpoint protections
