CrowdStrike announced a major upgrade to its cloud security portfolio with new real-time Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) innovations designed to protect hybrid and multi-cloud environments at machine speed. The enhanced CDR introduces a streaming-based Real-Time Detection Engine that processes cloud logs as they arrive eliminating the typical delay of minutes and surfacing high-fidelity alerts within seconds. Alongside, CrowdStrike has expanded its cloud-specific Indicators of Attack (IOAs) to include advanced adversarial behaviors such as privilege escalation and malicious CloudShell use, enriched with cloud asset and identity context to detect stealthy attacks in real time.

Finally, built on the company’s SOAR framework, the new Automated Cloud Response Actions and Workflows immediately disrupt detected threats without waiting for manual SOC intervention thereby closing the visibility and response gaps left by traditional Cloud Workload Protection or posture-only tools. As emphasized by CTO Elia Zaitsev, “Real-time security is the difference between stopping a breach and needing incident response – every second counts. CrowdStrike’s new real-time CDR reduces response time to seconds, stopping cloud threats before they spread.” With these three innovations real-time detection, enriched cloud IOAs and automated cloud-native response CrowdStrike says it empowers security teams to detect, triage and neutralize threats the moment they begin, elevating cloud security to keep pace with increasingly fast and stealthy adversaries.
