George Kurtz, CrowdStrike’s co-founder
and Chief Executive Officer, said: “We
continue to expand the capabilities
of the CrowdStrike Falcon platform,
leveraging its cloud-native architecture
built to protect the endpoint and stop the
breach on every platform – workstations,
servers, cloud workloads, containers
and now also mobile devices.
“With this announcement of Falcon
for Mobile, customers will be able to
leverage the industry-leading features
of the CrowdStrike Falcon platform –
EDR, managed threat hunting, single
agent architecture and massive threat
telemetry – to effectively defend
enterprise mobile devices.”
Cloud and mobility have completely
changed the way employees work,
providing speed and flexibility in
accessing information, but also exposing
the enterprise to yet another threat vector.
The workforce is more reliant than
ever on business-critical applications,
accessing confidential information from
multiple devices anytime, anywhere.
Yet security teams lack visibility into
mobile threat activity due to inadequate
and complex solutions that are difficult
to implement. Falcon for Mobile key
customer benefits include:
• Visibility: Security teams have
instant visibility into enterprise app
behaviour on Android and iOS
devices to protect sensitive corporate
data. Falcon for Mobile also makes

it fast and easy to identify vulnerable
devices by providing real-time
visibility into device health and
security posture.
Proactive threat hunting:
Organisations can perform proactive
threat hunting on mobile devices,
leveraging new telemetry types such
as mobile network activity, clipboard
actions and peripherals monitoring.
Enterprise application behaviour
monitoring: Falcon for Mobile
monitors enterprise app behaviour on
Android and iOS devices to enable
security teams to uncover malicious
or unwanted activity in their
business-critical apps. On Android,
its exclusive dynamic application
shielding provides enhanced
monitoring of enterprise apps, further
protecting sensitive corporate data.
Single interface: Telemetry from
traditional endpoints is presented
alongside telemetry from mobile
devices in a single interface to
enable rapid, comprehensive security
incident investigations.
Privacy-by-design: Falcon for Mobile
focuses on customer-designated
corporate apps with no monitoring of
personal applications on the device
such as text messaging, email,
photos, or browsing history.
Lightweight agent: Sensors for
Android and iOS are extremely high
performance and lightweight with
a nominal effect on battery life and
data bandwidth usage of a device.
Seamless integration: Falcon
for Mobile is fully integrated
with the CrowdStrike Falcon
platform, natively delivering Falcon
threat intelligence and Falcon
OverWatch services with no extra
implementations or integrations. u
