CrowdStrike deepens partnership with Google
Cloud to deliver customers automated endpoint security at scale and
help meet compliance requirements across hybrid environments
CrowdStrike® Inc. (Nasdaq: CRWD), a leader in cloud-delivered
endpoint protection, today announced that it will deliver automated
sensor deployment of CrowdStrike Falcon® on Google Cloud Platform.
The offering will be available with Google Cloud Operating System
(OS) Configuration that automates software installation and
simplifies resource management.
With automated sensor deployment, joint customers can easily
install the lightweight CrowdStrike Falcon sensor for new Compute
Engine resources on Google Cloud. The new offering allows customers
to help maintain their strong security stance by using a
centralized repository to store Falcon sensor packages and simplify
and scale software distribution, installation, and management
processes. Customers will be able to install Falcon sensors for
workloads across multiple Google Cloud accounts on demand,
providing organizations enhanced visibility of their operational
state, and allowing them to quickly meet security and compliance
requirements. The operating systems (OS) supported by the automated
sensor deployment offering include RedHat, Ubuntu, and Windows.
Benefits include:
- Shorten Time to Deployment: With a centralized
repository to manage all sensor packages in one place, customers
can quickly choose which software versions to install for providing
endpoint protection for their workloads hosted in Google Cloud
environments.
- Improve Efficiency with Ease of Use: Customers can
manage all CrowdStrike Falcon sensor deployments from a single user
interface as new workloads spin up. They can automate operational
tasks to make workload deployments efficient and secure from
bring-up time.
- Gain Control and Visibility: Organizations can gain
control of the environment by allowing authorized users to retrieve
and install Falcon sensors on workloads. Users can get full
visibility into their infrastructure’s current operational state of
workloads and sensors deployed.
"CrowdStrike is excited to partner with Google Cloud to enable
seamless deployment of the Falcon sensor at scale to protect cloud
workloads. With this integration, enterprises can secure their
workloads quickly and easily and gain visibility into unmanaged,
unprotected hosts," said Amol Kulkarni, chief product officer,
CrowdStrike. “CrowdStrike Falcon was purpose-built in the cloud and
natively protects workloads on any public or private cloud.”
“Security is a top priority for every business today,” said Jess
Leroy, Director, Product Management at Google Cloud. “Organizations
can leverage CrowdStrike’s automated endpoint security solutions to
enable even greater levels of data protection for their workloads
and applications running on Google Cloud or in a hybrid
environment.”
