CrowdStrike announces expanded integration with Amazon Web Services

CrowdStrike today announced an expanded integration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) at AWS re:Invent 2024, helping to secure end-to-end AI innovation in the cloud. With the CrowdStrike Falcon cybersecurity platform, customers can drive AI innovation on AWS with full visibility and security across the entire AI ecosystem—from large language models (LLMs) to applications.

As organizations rapidly adopt AI and cloud technologies, they face new challenges, including protecting workloads, AI models, and sensitive data from risks such as tampering, data poisoning, and misconfigurations. To address these risks, CrowdStrike is delivering capabilities that secure every stage of the software development lifecycle—from build to runtime to posture management—to protect AI deployments and sensitive data on AWS. Just as AWS relies on the Falcon platform to protect its infrastructure across the entire attack surface—from code to cloud and device to data—CrowdStrike secures the infrastructure powering the AI revolution with solutions like AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM), Falcon Data Protection, and AI Red Team Services.

“Global organizations increasingly build their cloud business and drive AI innovation using AWS—and secure it all with CrowdStrike,” said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer, CrowdStrike. “As AWS’s cybersecurity platform of choice, we’re advancing protection across every attack path in the cloud, accelerating secure AI innovation, and stopping identity-based attacks.”

Secure AI Workloads with New AI Container Scanning and SageMaker Enhancements

CrowdStrike introduced new AI container scanning and enhanced Amazon SageMaker support within Falcon Cloud Security, protecting the world’s largest cloud environment with the most developers building AI applications—from build, to runtime, to posture management.

With AI container scanning for AWS, organizations can detect vulnerabilities and misconfigurations during the build phase to secure AI workloads before deployment. Additionally, with extended support for Amazon SageMaker, AWS’s fully managed machine learning (ML) service, data scientists and developers can confidently build, train, and deploy ML models in production-ready environments. CrowdStrike’s new capabilities help organizations secure every stage of the software development lifecycle to secure AI deployments and protect sensitive data on AWS, enabling them to innovate with confidence.

Falcon Identity Protection Expands with AWS IAM Identity Center Integration

CrowdStrike has integrated Falcon Identity Protection with AWS IAM Identity Center, enabling a unified view of identities along with advanced threat detection and response to cloud-based identity attacks. The integration extends CrowdStrike’s existing protection for on-premises Active Directory and cloud-based identity providers like Okta and Microsoft Entra ID and will soon include SaaS applications through CrowdStrike’s recent acquisition of Adaptive Shield.
