  • Continuous monitoring and visibility provide full details and raw events to enable proactive and managed threat hunting and forensic investigations
  • Powerful response capabilities enable analysts to directly connect to the target host, gather additional relevant files and details, establish network containment, and upload and launch files and/or remediation scripts to easily deliver full remediation at scale, remotely.
  • Integrated threat intelligence for macOS delivers the complete context of an attack, including attribution.
Extended Capabilities

Extended Capabilities

  • Specialized intelligence for macOS with Falcon X is a force multiplier for analysts beyond what happened on the endpoint, revealing the "who, why and how" behind the attack.
  • IT Hygiene with Falcon Discover provides detailed visibility over macOS applications, assets and user accounts giving analysts enriched visibility and response capabilities.
  • Falcon Forensics collects forensic data for robust and efficient analysis of cybersecurity incidents and rapid identification of relevant data through preset dashboards, accelerating compromise assessments and incident response.
  • Zero Trust Assessment provides enhanced visibility of the overall health of a Mac endpoint with a single metric along with recommendations to improve security posture. Metrics can be shared with CrowdStrike partners for real-time conditional access enforcement.
Broad Support

Broad Support

  • Native M1 and Intel x86 support
  • A single Falcon agent covers all supported macOS versions including Big Sur, with system extensions and backward compatibility with Mojave and Catalina, where Falcon will use the older kext approach as necessary
  • The Falcon agent simplifies upgrading to newer macOS versions by automatically reconfigures itself to use the Apple system extension method for Big Sur and above
