Has improved vulnerability detection efficiency but still requires better help desk integration
The positive aspect is that within CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management, there is seamless integrity within vulnerability management. We don't need to deploy sensors within the campus because we have a university environment with multiple campuses in the region. In this scenario, the EDR, which is already deployed as a sensor, helps us scan vulnerabilities without installing any other agents in the system. It's quite seamless, and within the EDR dashboard, we can see the vulnerability of a device. In case of an attack or suspicious activity, we can map the vulnerabilities against that particular malicious activity. Although we don't need to deal directly with the machine learning part, it works quite efficiently, and the learning algorithms are also quite efficient in that perspective. Regarding automated asset discovery tools in CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management, it was previously very hard to identify which PCs and servers had EDR. Now with exposure management, it's very easy to identify which servers are not having EDR in our environment. We can identify unmanaged assets and managed assets very easily, and it helps us reduce risk within the environment. We found many critical servers that didn't have EDR before enabling exposure management. The central dashboard is helpful for our team to respond to threats faster. It is quite automated, and direct team involvement is very low. Many cases are automatically dealt with within CrowdStrike. The workflows are quite seamless and easy to define. In case of any vulnerability or malicious activity, it automatically contains a device and isolates a particular system from the environment. This way, the support team is not crowded with different tickets and false positives.

Has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal
While Zafran Security is already a powerful tool, there are areas where it could be further improved to provide even greater value. One key area for enhancement is the searching capabilities within its vulnerabilities module. By incorporating the ability to create Boolean searches, users would gain the ability to apply more complex filters and customize their search criteria. This would greatly enhance the precision and efficiency with which security teams can identify and prioritize vulnerabilities. Having such tailored search capabilities would save time and resources by narrowing down vast lists of vulnerabilities to those that meet specific parameters relevant to our unique risk environment. Additionally, integrating more robust reporting and visualization tools would be advantageous. Enhanced dashboards that offer customizable visual representations of risk configurations and threat landscapes would facilitate better communication with stakeholders, making it easier to explain vulnerabilities and the rationale behind certain security measures. This would also aid in demonstrating the improvements and value derived from existing security investments to leadership and non-technical team members.

Pros

"The positive aspect is that within CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management, there is seamless integrity within vulnerability management, and we don't need to deploy sensors within the campus because the EDR, which is already deployed as a sensor, helps us scan vulnerabilities without installing any other agents in the system."
"The most beneficial feature in CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management is the security blocking, such as USB access and other .exe file auto runtime detection that sends alerts to us."
"The final dashboard is impressive from my perspective, and I think many other companies only show vulnerabilities on the endpoint, but CrowdStrike provides a better overview of the whole environment."
"The solution works smoothly with no scalability issues."
"I would also prefer CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management from a technical perspective because it has many more features and it is much more granular, and you can learn a lot from that."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management offers robust capabilities in EDR and cloud security terms."
"Overall, we have seen about eighty-seven percent reduction of the number of vulnerabilities that require urgency to remediate, specifically the number of criticals."
"Zafran is an excellent tool."

"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."
