Featured Reviews

Soc Manager at County of Orange, California
Detailed sandbox reports have strengthened investigations and now provide clearer threat decisions
The additional quota was a factor that led us to consider a change; we went from five detonations per day to 250 per month. Multi-platform analysis in CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox has helped identify threats. The effectiveness of CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox has been roughly 90 to 100 percent for our operations. Custom indicators of compromise in CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox add to our cybersecurity strategy; it is a small part of the strategy, but it plays a significant part in keeping all of the tenants that we have onboarded up to date on relevant files that we are seeing in our environment. That memory forensic capability in CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox is not something we utilize significantly, but we know of its importance. We utilize memory forensics sometimes in CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox to review the entropy snapshot; if we see a high level of entropy in the Sandbox report, that could lead to a decision that the file is most likely suspicious, but we use that as an additional item to review. Regarding how features of CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox have benefited my organization, there is a real-time feature in CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox, so we can deploy the operating system of choice; we can also analyze archived files, and those features have been helpful as we can interact with the file in certain ways and get additional interaction metrics. I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox overall as a solution at a nine out of ten. A higher interaction time with the file would give CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox a ten out of ten for us. If you utilize Falcon Endpoint Protection, I would highly recommend CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox because the telemetry goes hand-in-hand with that other product.

Helps secure the infrastructure and control users with admin rights
There are many features that are currently missing. A customization option is required for certain policies. For instance, if we need to stop PowerShell scripting, we have to create a different policy for that. Being able to create a sub-level policy within a top-level policy would be good. Currently, no user-based policy option is available inside the EPM console. We can only create computer-based policies. The database is available, but there is a drawback in not being able to create local groups on the EPM console. We only have to depend on Active Directory. This limits infrastructure security as we depend on the Active Directory team to manage user groups. If they remove any users, we lose control. If we could create groups locally and block them or set specific policies, we would have more control. Local endpoint management is missing from the EPM site. Moreover, there is an issue with policies not running as expected when we make enhancements. We have to find multiple ways to whitelist applications or enhance policies.
