The security software which is installed on our PC such as the traditional antivirus software is often called “on-premise” security. On-premise protection isn’t always successful because it can only learn about new threats when the antivirus vendor releases an update.
Crowdstrike’s Falcon Platform, which runs in the cloud rather than on-premise, delivers real-time security. Crowdstrike’s gadgets form a “living” network that can recognise, block, and learn from threats.
Crowdstrike’s artificial intelligence might detect an attack at a place A, learn from it, and improve itself in real time to protect a machine at another place B from a similar threat, even if the second attack had nothing to do with the first. More clients mean more network connections, which means more risks, which improves the Crowdstrike platform.
