CrowdStrike expands Falcon Exposure Management with network vulnerability support - SiliconANGLE

CrowdStrike expands Falcon Exposure Management with network vulnerability support Cybersecurity company CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. today announced new capabilities for its CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management offering that accelerate cybersecurity consolidation by eliminating outdated vulnerability management tools and extending artificial intelligence-powered risk prioritization to network assets. The new capabilities include the general availability of Network Vulnerability Assessment, a service that allows security operations teams to identify and remediate high-risk vulnerabilities in network devices, including routers, switches and firewalls, in real time. Falcon Exposure Management is designed to prioritize vulnerabilities based on adversary activity and real-world attack paths and hence allows security teams to identify and mitigate risks before they lead to a breach. Core to the offering is giving SecOps team members an understanding of how attackers exploit multiple vulnerabilities in sequence, with the result, said by CrowdStrike, to reduce critical vulnerabilities by 98%. With Network Vulnerability Assessment, CrowdStrike extends the platform's capabilities to assets discovered over the network to provide risk visibility, prioritization and automated remediation across the entire attack surface without requiring additional scanners, agents or hardware. The new feature helps organizations accelerate consolidation and eliminate the costs and complexity of managing numerous disjointed tools. "For too long, organizations have had to rely on hardware-dependent, difficult-to-deploy solutions with outdated risk models and static CVSS scores, requiring external threat feeds to even attempt prioritization," said Chief Technology Officer Elia Zaitsev. "With the Falcon platform, everything is built in natively -- the industry's richest adversary intelligence, patented AI and a lightweight agent adapted as a network scanner -- allowing teams to extend adversary-based risk mitigation to network devices with a single click, meeting the demand for even greater consolidation on CrowdStrike." Falcon Exposure Management offers real-time, continuous network assessments through its lightweight agent, eliminating the need for traditional scanners and providing instant visibility into all devices without disruption. The service, through its AI-driven ExPRT.AI engine, prioritizes the top 5% of vulnerabilities responsible for the majority of risks. In doing so, it helps organizations focus on the most critical threats based on real-world intelligence and adversary behavior. The platform also unifies exposure management across endpoints, cloud, information technology, internet of things, and network assets, mapping attack paths to critical data and predicting attacker movements. Combined with Falcon Fusion SOAR, Falcon Exposure Management enables automated, real-time remediation and integrates with the broader Falcon platform for end-to-end protection across the enterprise. Network Vulnerability Assessment is now generally available as part of Falcon Exposure Management.

CrowdStrike Accelerates Cybersecurity Consolidation with AI-Powered Network Vulnerability Assessment for Falcon Exposure Management

New capability extends the Falcon platform's AI-driven risk prioritization to network assets, eliminating the need for standalone scanners, agents or hardware; Falcon Exposure Management customers can assess up to 10% of their assets at no cost CrowdStrike announced new CrowdStrike Falcon® Exposure Management innovations, accelerating cybersecurity consolidation by eliminating outdated vulnerability management tools and extending AI-powered risk prioritization to network assets. The general availability of the Network Vulnerability Assessment capability enables security teams to identify and remediate high-risk vulnerabilities in network devices, including routers, switches and firewalls, in real time - without additional scanners, agents or hardware. The single-agent architecture of the CrowdStrike Falcon® cybersecurity platform empowers organizations to replace legacy vulnerability management tools with a single click, consolidating security operations on the Falcon platform and modernizing static, CVSS-based risk models with an adversary-driven approach. Falcon Exposure Management customers receive free scanning for up to 10% of assets to immediately experience the benefits of AI-powered, platform-driven exposure management.[1] "Network scanning is a staple in virtually every security stack, and bringing it to the Falcon platform - and replacing legacy solutions - is one of our top customer demands," said Elia Zaitsev, chief technology officer, CrowdStrike. "For too long, organizations have had to rely on hardware-dependent, difficult-to-deploy solutions with outdated risk models and static CVSS scores, requiring external threat feeds to even attempt prioritization. With the Falcon platform, everything is built in natively - the industry's richest adversary intelligence, patented AI, and a lightweight agent adapted as a network scanner - allowing teams to extend adversary-based risk mitigation to network devices with a single click, meeting the demand for even greater consolidation on CrowdStrike." As adversaries evolve, traditional vulnerability management tools fail to address modern risk, missing how adversaries chain vulnerabilities together in real-world attacks. The 2025 CrowdStrike Global Threat Report reveals that attackers increasingly exploit multiple low/medium vulnerabilities in sequence to escalate privileges and execute remote code, bypassing traditional risk prioritization models. Legacy scanning solutions lack the native threat intelligence and advanced AI capabilities to correlate vulnerabilities with real-world attack techniques. They also require dedicated agents and hardware, creating operational complexity without delivering true risk reduction. As a result, security teams are overwhelmed with static CVSS scores that fail to reflect how an adversary targets their attack surface, leaving critical gaps in exposure management. Falcon Exposure Management prioritizes vulnerabilities based on adversary activity and real-world attack paths, allowing security teams to identify and mitigate risks before they lead to a breach. By understanding how attackers exploit multiple vulnerabilities in sequence, teams can reduce critical vulnerabilities by up to 98%. With Network Vulnerability Assessment, CrowdStrike extends these capabilities to assets discovered over the network, providing comprehensive risk visibility, prioritization and automated remediation across the entire attack surface, without requiring additional scanners, agents or hardware. This brings another crucial aspect of modern security to the Falcon platform, helping organizations accelerate consolidation and eliminate the costs and complexity of managing numerous disjointed tools.
