CrowdStrike Launches Insider Risk Services to Combat Modern Insider Threats

Insider Risk Services

CrowdStrike unveiled CrowdStrike Insider Risk Services, a comprehensive suite of offerings aimed at helping organizations detect and prevent insider threats. Designed to address risks from negligent employees, malicious insiders, and sophisticated adversaries, the service empowers organizations to proactively mitigate vulnerabilities, bolster defenses, and contain risks before they escalate.

Insider threats have become a critical challenge for organizations, with the average annual cost of resolving insider incidents now at $16.2 million. These threats span a wide spectrum, including adversaries posing as employees to exploit trust, as well as internal staff compromising security through negligence or malicious intent. Despite the gravity of these risks, many organizations lack formal insider risk programs, leaving critical security gaps.

CrowdStrike Insider Risk Services leverages the industry-leading CrowdStrike Falcon® cybersecurity platform, combining advanced threat detection, intelligence, threat hunting, assessments, and expert-led incident response. This multi-layered approach ensures robust protection and sets a new benchmark for insider risk management.

The importance of proactive defenses was underscored when CrowdStrike’s intelligence-driven approach uncovered tactics used by FAMOUS CHOLLIMA, a North Korea-linked group that infiltrated over 200 U.S. tech companies by disguising malicious activities as legitimate employment. This revelation highlights the critical need for comprehensive insider threat programs.

Key service offerings include:

  • Insider Risk Program and Technical Reviews: Identify security gaps and enhance defenses using CrowdStrike’s intelligence and 24/7 threat hunting.
  • Tabletop Exercises and Red Team Simulations: Strengthen detection capabilities and identify vulnerabilities through real-world threat scenarios.
  • Incident Response: Leverage expert-led services powered by adversary intelligence to swiftly contain and mitigate risks.

“Today’s insider risks, whether caused by an accident, negligence, or a sophisticated adversary, demand proactive and comprehensive protection to safeguard critical assets and minimize any potential impact,” said Thomas Etheridge, chief global services officer at CrowdStrike. “With deep adversary insights, extensive experience in countering complex threats, and industry-leading visibility and protection provided by the Falcon platform, CrowdStrike Insider Risk Services sets a new standard for combating the modern insider threat.”
