CrowdStrike Extends Falcon Platform Protection Into the Web Browser

CrowdStrike says the web browser has become a critical attack surface for businesses. Staff use browsers to reach business applications, work with AI tools and handle sensitive data, and the company notes that attackers try to exploit browser sessions to steal credentials and pull data out of organisations.

To address this, CrowdStrike has announced that Falcon Seraphic Enterprise Browser is now natively available on the Falcon platform. Security teams can manage browser security alongside their existing Falcon tools through one platform. According to CrowdStrike, it applies real-time security controls inside browser sessions and protects activity on both managed and unmanaged devices. Employees do not need to switch to a dedicated enterprise browser, and traffic does not need to be rerouted.

Browser data can also feed into CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM. Analysts can then search, investigate and connect browser activity with endpoint, identity and third-party data to speed up triage and response. CrowdStrike argues that as work shifts further into browsers, SaaS applications and AI tools, browser security can no longer sit apart from the rest of a security program.
