This blog is part of a five-part series previewing Fal.Con 2024 content. Read previews for cloud, AI and next-gen SIEM.
In today’s threat landscape, identity is a primary adversary target and plays a central role in most breaches. The CrowdStrike 2024 Threat Hunting Report states 5 of the top 10 MITRE tactics observed in the past 12 months are identity-based. The reality is clear: Modern attackers aren’t breaking in — they’re logging in.
Organizations must achieve complete visibility across hybrid environments, many of which span on-premises Active Directory and cloud-based identity solutions like Entra ID. Without this level of visibility, they’re vulnerable to increasingly sophisticated identity-based attacks. But visibility alone isn’t enough to stop adversaries. The ability to proactively prevent, detect and respond to these attacks in real time is critical to stay ahead of them.
Fal.Con 2024, taking place September 16-19 in Las Vegas, NV, puts identity security in the spotlight. With more than 20 Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) sessions led by customer speakers, partners and CrowdStrike experts, this track is designed to empower attendees with practical strategies. With lessons from breakout sessions, real-world case studies and hands-on experiences, attendees will be equipped to maximize the full value of CrowdStrike’s unified identity security.
