Zscaler + CrowdStrike
Uniting forces to address complex cross-domain security issues of the AI era
Overview
Zscaler and CrowdStrike deliver holistic enterprise security for today’s dynamic threat landscape. Our shared zero trust philosophy sets the standard for inline security, endpoint protection, and advanced threat detection, while our seamless integrations help enterprises shift from cyber risk to proactive resilience. The result is stronger security that’s easier to manage across endpoints, networks, and applications.
ZSCALER + CROWDSTRIKE
Joint defense-in-depth integration framework
Cross-domain security gaps weaken your enterprise’s overall security posture. Zscaler and CrowdStrike deliver a seamless defense-in-depth framework, uniting zero trust principles with cross-domain threat protection to help you overcome key challenges:
Limited visibility and control
Without insight into network activities or control over internet-bound traffic to and from endpoints, hidden attack surfaces emerge, increasing risk.
Static policy enforcement
Outdated access policies fail to detect real-time compromises, undermining zero trust principles and exposing critical accounts and devices.
Missed threat patterns and delayed response
Lack of shared threat intelligence delays detection and remediation of advanced threats, slowing incident response times.
Siloed solutions and platforms
Non-integrated tools create security gaps, drive up costs, and introduce complexity, making workflows inefficient and exposing vulnerabilities.
Capabilities
Enable adaptive zero trust access to all apps based on device health and incident context
Assess device health and active security incidents on devices, and automatically enforce adaptive access policies. Security incident data from CrowdStrike fosters a dynamic, responsive security posture, broadening Zscaler’s adaptive access capabilities and allowing for more granular, context-aware access controls.
Rich context signals enable highly precise zero trust access policies.
Enable superior decision-making based on continuous risk assessments in real time.
Policies dynamically adapt to real-time fluctuations in the risk landscape.
Exchange threat intelligence to strengthen defense posture
Combined threat intelligence from CrowdStrike and Zscaler creates a more effective defense-in-depth approach by maximizing threat prevention measures. CrowdStrike insights are integrated into the customer’s Zscaler tenant, enabling dynamic adjustments to access controls for critical apps. This collaboration mitigates threat vectors and blocks attacks before they can impact other endpoints.
Custom blocklists are automatically updated. Zscaler shares log files with CrowdStrike LogScale Services, enhancing mutual visibility without adding complexity.
The Zero Trust Exchange blocks threats inline, leveraging new network data from CrowdStrike Falcon Threat Intelligence to prevent impact on endpoints.
Endpoint and network context enable speedy threat investigation for effective detection and decision-making.
Rapid zero day threat detection and remediation
Zscaler Sandbox intercepts unknown files before they reach endpoints. It detects zero-day threats, correlates with CrowdStrike telemetry to identify impacted devices, and enacts rapid response with a cross-platform quarantine workflow.
Get a complete view of the threat landscape as well as automatic cross-platform correlation and workflow speeds up investigation and response.
Minimizes endpoint exposure to the network attack surface—quickly quarantine to prevent lateral threat movement.
Telemetry-driven threat detection and AI security
CrowdStrike Falcon Insight XDR leverages ZIA and ZPA telemetry from Zscaler to correlate logs, identify threats, and enable orchestrated remediation through Falcon Fusion workflows. Zscaler Private AI Security secures interactions with pre-trained LLMs for customer- and employee-facing AI apps. Integrated with CrowdStrike NG SIEM, it centralizes AI-related security event data—like alerts and prompt detections—streamlining SecOps workflows and enhancing visibility into AI-specific incidents.
Add users to restricted groups and restrict access to critical apps.
Cut through noise with high-fidelity AI-event logs to surface critical threats from the use of AI apps and chatbots.
Detect AI misuse, maintain compliance, and streamline security operations for greater efficiency and effectiveness.
Speed up mean time to detect and respond with coordinated responses
The Falcon Foundry Zscaler app serves as a foundation for Zscaler’s integration with CrowdStrike’s next-gen SIEM. It enhances SecOps teams’ capabilities by automating and orchestrating threat intel sharing and enabling coordinated policy actions, for rapid and effective response to security threats.
