Cybersecurity provider CrowdStrike announced that its CrowdXDR Alliance initiative has gained three new members, each of which is expected to boost the alliance’s telemetry sources in three technological fields: Cloudflare for cloud, Armis for Internet of things, and ThreatWarrior for network, SDxCentral reports.
The goal of the CrowdXDR Alliance is to create a universal extended detection and response language to facilitate data sharing between security process and tools, in line with CrowdStrike’s vision of structured use of data that is also deployed for threat hunting using shared telemetry.
“Through our integration, which combines device details from Falcon sensors with device details gathered by Armis, we are able to deliver a comprehensive view of every managed and unmanaged asset in the customer’s environments,” Armis co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Nadir Izrael said of the collaboration.
CrowdStrike has been making partnerships this year to integrate its threat detection solutions with those of other security vendors, including Zscaler with its zero-trust an identity-centric security protocol and Google Cloud, which pledged to share its telemetry and data with CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform.
Ahead of its imminent approval, the Biden administration's proposed executive order mandating U.S. cloud infrastructure-as-a-service providers to strengthen the verification of their users' identities has received industry opposition due to the increased financial and logistical burdens that would arise from such a rule, according to The Record, a news site by cybersecurity firm Recorded Future.
U.S. independent record label Empire Distribution, which has worked with Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, and 50 Cent, had its sensitive data exposed as a result of an environment file misconfiguration, Cybernews reports.
