Introduction
Remote systems can be easy targets for attackers. When these systems are compromised, responders need to work quickly to understand the attack and take action to remediate. The responders need remote system visibility and access since users can’t walk a laptop over to IT.
Remote Remediation is More Important Than Ever
When a cyber attack is discovered, responders have two urgent goals: to understand the threat and then take action to remediate. Ideally, organizations should strive to isolate or remediate the problem within 1 hour: With only remote access to the system, visibility and quick remediation can be challenging.
Solution
CrowdStrike Falcon empowers responders with deep endpoint visibility to rapidly investigate incidents and fully understand emerging threats.
