CrowdStrike Falcon for IT Adds Endpoint Automation to Advance SOC Transformation

Today, CrowdStrike is releasing automated baseline enforcement and remediation in CrowdStrike Falcon® for IT to secure misconfigured devices and consistently address vulnerabilities across endpoints. Operators can now centrally manage and enforce endpoint configurations across platforms to support security and compliance efforts.

Security and IT teams must ensure endpoints are secure and compliant according to established baseline configurations, even as users install or remove apps, delay updates, or change settings. In addition, these teams must identify and quickly remediate security vulnerabilities for all devices. Resolving these issues requires deep endpoint visibility and coordinated response actions, which have long been siloed between security and IT.

Falcon for IT breaks down these silos to resolve issues before adversaries can exploit them. Our technology unifies visibility and enforcement within the CrowdStrike Falcon® cybersecurity platform to streamline operations and ensure security gaps are addressed.

Building on Falcon for IT’s comprehensive visibility, our new baseline enforcement and automated remediation capabilities empower teams to quickly correct misconfigurations and vulnerabilities at scale — transforming manual tasks into proactive protection.

Intelligent Endpoint Automation Maintains Secure Endpoint Baselines

Falcon for IT now enables SecOps teams to define and enforce a desired endpoint state, whether that involves approved software, essential configurations, or required services. It continuously monitors for drift and automatically remediates deviations, simplifying critical maintenance for security and IT teams. 

One of the biggest challenges in securing endpoints is the lack of full visibility across all devices. To make matters worse, security and IT teams often operate separately and use different tools to spot and fix problems. Relying on manual processes to detect and correct misconfigurations is both time-consuming and prone to error, leading to security gaps and compliance issues.

This new automation eliminates manual workflows while ensuring endpoints remain aligned to organizational policies and security benchmarks such as CIS, NIST, and DISA STIGs. By taking a unified approach to risk reduction and posture management with the Falcon platform, security teams can more effectively manage endpoint security and compliance across the enterprise.

Intelligent endpoint automation enables:

• Consistent configuration management across Windows, macOS, and Linux
• Scalable remediation for non-compliant systems
• Continuous alignment with frameworks like CIS, NIST, and DISA to reduce risk and support audit readiness

Enterprise-Scale Remediation with Automated Actions

New automation actions with Falcon for IT extend the remediation capabilities of the Falcon cybersecurity platform. Security operations teams are now able to turn repetitive manual tasks into automated actions that run continuously and consistently across all endpoints, all the time.

Security teams often face delays and inconsistent response actions when fixing critical issues, especially when security and IT rely on separate tools. This fragmented approach forces them to rely on manual processes, which may resolve an issue on some endpoints while leaving the same problem unaddressed on others — keeping the enterprise at risk.

Automated actions bring consistency to common actions like installing software, applying fixes, changing configurations, and more. Additionally, Falcon for IT now supports Python scripts alongside existing support for PowerShell, Bash, and Zsh, allowing operators to use their preferred syntax for orchestrating a cross-platform response.

Key benefits include:

• Policy-driven remediation across distributed environments
• Automated actions tied to system health, configuration drift, and vulnerability data
• Built-in safeguards to ensure safe deployment across critical systems

Bridging the Divide Between Security and IT

Traditional SecOps workflows often stall at the point of action. Security teams identify misconfigurations or vulnerabilities, but remediation depends on external coordination with IT, which often leads to delays, ticket queues, and inconsistent outcomes. Falcon for IT closes this gap by delivering a unified operational experience that empowers security to initiate and automate IT actions directly, without the friction of manual handoffs.

By bringing visibility and automated responses together in a single platform, Falcon for IT ensures important detections are met with rapid response. Whether it's uninstalling risky applications, restarting critical services, or correcting misconfigurations, remediation happens at the speed of detection.

In a landscape where speed, scale, and coordination matter more than ever, Falcon for IT empowers teams to detect and correct configuration issues before they lead to a breach. Security operations teams are now able to enforce secure baseline configurations across the entire endpoint fleet and automate remediation actions from a unified platform.

Get Started with Proactive SecOps and IT Automation

With these latest enhancements, Falcon for IT redefines what's possible for enterprise security operations teams. By combining deep cross-platform endpoint visibility and enterprise scale remediation, organizations can eliminate silos, reduce risk, and respond with precision from a single, unified platform.
