Crowdstrike Unveils Falcon To Protect Every Digital Identity Type
CrowdStrike, Friday, August 15th, 2025
CrowdStrike has introduced Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security, a unified solution designed to secure every identity type, including human, non-human, and AI agents, across hybrid IT environments.
According to CrowdStrike's 2025 Threat Hunting Report, identity has risen to become the fastest-growing attack vector, with 81% of interactive intrusions now occurring without malware. Attackers are increasingly using valid credentials hijacked from human users, service accounts, and AI agents to move across endpoints, cloud services, and SaaS applications undetected.
The new Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security aims to counter these threats by bringing together controls including initial access prevention, modern privileged access management (PAM), identity threat detection and response (ITDR), SaaS identity security, and agentic AI protection within a single platform. This approach is intended to eliminate the risks and inefficiencies associated with using multiple standalone tools.
