Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security expands protection for identities

CrowdStrike has refreshed Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security, expanding unified protection for every identity – human, non-human, and AI agent – across the full hybrid identity lifecycle. With phishing-resistant multifactor authentication (MFA), modern privileged access, and automated response, CrowdStrike eliminates blind spots and consolidates fragmented controls, advancing identity security beyond legacy identity and access (IAM) and privileged access management (PAM) solutions.

“Identity is the front line of modern attacks. In today’s enterprise, access is constantly evolving across identities spanning human users, machines, and AI agents that operate dynamically in hybrid environments,” said Elia Zaitsev, CTO at CrowdStrike.

"Traditional IAM and PAM were designed to manage access, not stop adversaries. CrowdStrike closes the gaps adversaries exploit with these fragmented solutions, securing every identity across every stage of the attack and environment. Our latest innovations provide deeper visibility, more powerful automation, and streamlined response to extend the unified advantage of Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security.”

Even with MFA and point capabilities bolted on, IAM and PAM fail to close critical gaps, CrowdStrike said. This is because they lack shared context across the attack chain and hybrid systems, increasing the complexity of stopping identity attacks. Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security was purpose-built with unified initial access, modern privileged access management, identity threat detection and response (ITDR), software-as-a-service (SaaS) identity security, and agentic identity protection to stop identity-driven breaches across domains. New features include:

- FalconID: Phishing-resistant, passwordless MFA built on FIDO2 standards delivers security-first identity verification, stopping adversaries before they log in. Delivered through the Falcon for Mobile app, FalconID is powered by real-time identity and endpoint telemetry for smarter access decisions, blocking techniques that bypass traditional MFA.

- Enhanced Falcon Privileged Access: Simplifies complex Active Directory and Entra ID configurations, automates grants and revocations via Microsoft Teams and Fusion SOAR, and delivers real-time visibility into access patterns to minimise standing privileges and reduce risk. Entra ID is Microsoft's cloud-based IAM service.

- Identity-driven case management: Automatically correlates detections into a single Falcon Next-Gen SIEM case, enriched with endpoint, cloud, and SaaS telemetry to deliver full context on cross-domain attacks, accelerating investigation and response. SIEM stands for security information and event management.

Amazon Web Services (AWS), an Amazon.com company, has found* that AI adoption continues to accelerate in Singapore. In the past year alone, 27,000 1 Singapore businesses adopted AI for the first time—equivalent to over three new adopters every hour. In sum, nearly 170,000 (48%) of businesses in Singapore have adopted AI 2 , up from approximately 143,000 (40%) a year ago. This represents a 20% year-over-year growth rate, AWS said. AI adoption is the strongest in the financial services industry (71%), followed by the technology sector ( software developers, data analytics firms, cloud service providers, and digital startups) at 70%, and healthcare at 63%. Among Singapore’s businesses that have adopted AI, 82% reported an increase in revenue, at an average increase of 19%, while 90% report significant productivity improvements. A large majority (85%) of those who have adopted AI say the technology is likely to increase their growth in the next year, and 89% expect an average of 17%...
