CrowdStrike Falcon Zero Trust Assessment (ZTA) now available
CrowdStrike ZTA provides real-time security assessments across all endpoints in an organization, regardless of the location, network, or user. It allows for enforcement of conditional access based on device health and compliance checks, which helps mitigate security risks.
“There is a massive blind spot in many of today’s Zero Trust security technologies that only focus on user authentication and do not take into account device health. Endpoint security is one of the foundational building blocks of Zero Trust,” said Amol Kulkarni, chief product officer at CrowdStrike. “With CrowdStrike Falcon ZTA we are providing the missing link to implement Zero Trust security, leveraging the power of the CrowdStrike Falcon platform to deliver complete protection through verified access control to business data and applications. Additionally, with the acquisition of Preempt Security, CrowdStrike has combined industry-leading workload security with identity protection to seamlessly deliver end-to-end Zero Trust conditional access for our customers.”
