Cado Security and CrowdStrike: Strengthening Incident Response with Forensic-Driven Insights

When a cyberattack occurs, time is the most crucial factor. Security teams need to identify the breach, assess the impact, and respond swiftly. Integrating Cado Security's cloud-native forensic platform with CrowdStrike Falcon provides organizations with a powerful combination that enhances real-time threat detection and forensic investigation. This blog takes a look into how this integration empowers security teams to investigate faster, gain deeper insights, and respond to incidents more effectively.

CrowdStrike Falcon and Cado Security Integration: Automating Forensic Investigations

CrowdStrike Falcon is known for its real-time endpoint protection capabilities, offering security teams robust threat detection. The integration with the Cado platform takes this further by automating forensic investigation processes when suspicious activity is detected. 

Here's how the integration works:

1. Triage Acquisition Initiation: Once CrowdStrike Falcon detects suspicious behavior on a host, the Cado platform can kick off a triage acquisition process using Falcon RTR.
2. Data Collection via Falcon RTR: The Falcon RTR locates the endpoint with the CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor installed and deploys a Cado Host instance. This instance collects critical forensic data, packages it, and uploads it to the Cado platform for deeper analysis.
3. Accelerated Response: By automating this process, security teams can minimize delays in accessing forensic data, speed up response times, and improve overall incident handling efficiency.

Key Benefits of the Integration

1. Respond Faster

In the fast-paced world of cybersecurity, the ability to respond quickly can make or break an incident response effort. The Cado and CrowdStrike integration automates the collection and analysis of forensic data from affected systems, allowing security teams to focus on threat mitigation and reducing mean time to respond (MTTR).

2. Add Depth to Your Investigations

Real-time threat detection alone may not provide the full story. The Cado platform adds rich historical context, helping security teams dig deeper to understand the root cause and scope of breaches. With this comprehensive data, organizations can make informed decisions on remediation and future preventive measures.

3. Simplify Forensic Analysis

Forensic investigations often require manual, time-consuming tasks like writing complex scripts or performing intricate queries. Cado simplifies this process, allowing analysts to get the answers they need quickly without deep technical knowledge. This enables faster, more effective forensic investigations.

4. Gain Complete Visibility

The integration offers broad threat detection coverage and the ability to conduct deep forensic investigations across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments. This holistic visibility ensures that no stone is left unturned in the hunt for malicious activity, even across the most complex infrastructures.

Broad Coverage: Cloud, Containers, and On-Premises
