Fal.Con UNITE 2019: CrowdStrike Unveils Firewall Management Module -

CrowdStrike has added a Firewall Management module to its Falcon endpoint protection platform. The company unveiled Falcon Firewall Management at its Fal.Con UNITE user conference in San Diego, California.

Falcon Firewall Management is delivered via a single agent and cloud-native architecture, according to CrowdStrike. It helps organizations manage and enforce host firewall policies, protect against network threats and eliminate visibility gaps.

Introducing Falcon for AWS

CrowdStrike also has unveiled Falcon for Amazon Web Services (AWS), a container security solution that provides organizations with visibility and protection across their AWS workloads.

Falcon for AWS secures containers via a single agent, CrowdStrike indicated. It enables organizations to deploy and monitor AWS workloads at scale.

Meanwhile, Falcon for AWS can be automatically deployed as new AWS workloads are created, CrowdStrike noted. This ensures that organizations can use Falcon for AWS to maintain ongoing protection across their AWS workloads.

CrowdStrike will demonstrate Falcon for AWS at Fal.Con UNITE.
