CrowdStrike Falcon vs Microsoft Defender ATP: Comparison of features and performance
CrowdStrike Falcon and Microsoft Defender ATP are popular tools for EDR. Have you done a POC on these two tools, or had experience using them? If so, please share some insights on how these products perform, and which you would recommend.
In a nutshell, Microsoft as most of its products tend to be behind the leaders and ATP is no exception, we used both and stayed with Falcon. With ATP you think you are protected until you deploy Falcon, or any other NGAV, and realize you were blind. We also used Cylance and still better than MS ATP.
A few reasons why Falcon: Time response, real AI engine no signatures, support, easy to manage, one of the most well-organized vendors we've worked with, one of my favorites: if you don't have the --expertise-- and human power in-house they offer a fully managed insured ($1M) solution that monitors all the way to remediation 24x7 in less than 30min and without user intervention or interruption. Last, network containment at the click of a button in real-time with the ability to still remediate remotely
The SentinelOne Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) unifies prevention, detection, and response in a single purpose-built agent, powered by machine learning and automation. It is not reliant on hash signatures or an internet connection. SentinelOne provides prevention and detection of attacks across all major vectors and rapid elimination of threats with a fully automated real-time response without human intervention.
SentinelOne has not been breached and offers upto $1,000,000 warranty if it cannot roll back a ransomware attack.

Hello community,
I am a Senior Manager at a medium-sized tech services company.
I have a client who is trying to decide which solution would be the best for them. Can you please provide a technical comparison between CrowdStrike Falcon and SentinelOne Singularity Complete?
Thank you for your help.

Hi everyone,
What do you think of the integration of Azure AD Services, Defender for Endpoint, and Intune as comprehensive security solutions?
I have demoed these solutions together. There are as well other alternatives that integrate with SaaS services.
Thank you for your help.

I believe it is a good first step, and I would say even a requirement, but in no way is it a comprehensive security solution, even for endpoints.
There are many things that need to be addressed for security. In addition to this, there is XDR, MDR, more comprehensive AV for endpoints & Servers that stop attacks, Threat Hunting, Mitigation, PEN Testing, Security Training for end users, Multi-Factor Authentication (Microsoft's MFA is good but only for Microsoft products), Patch Management for Endpoints, Servers and Cloud Workloads, Network Access Control, Firewalls for On-Premise and Cloud server workloads, Network Segmentation, Password Management, Data Backups (3-2-1-1 Rule) with Immutable Backups, Power Backups, Physical Security, Monitoring, NOC/SOC services, and working towards a Zero Trust architecture...
But there are no single-point solutions that will make you secure, so don't get complacent. And you can outspend your profits if you do everything. Just remember it's best to have a layered approach that works together and looks at everything from a security perspective and how it integrates with your overall security plans and objectives to help identify holes and possible mitigations.
Healthcare must do Risk Assessments by law, but I recommend that all companies of all sizes do at least annual risk assessments since there is so such thing as being too small or inconspicuous to be hit with malware or have a cyber security attack since much of the delivery is automated and not just by the script-kiddies of years gone by... Nation States are actively engaging in cyber warfare daily, along with terrorists, and opportunists looking to make big money from you...

It depends on your company's infrastructure. Check with your cyber team whether you can sync your endpoints to Cloud using Azure AD as Azure Registered/ Azure Hybrid AD join/ Azure AD join, etc.
1. So, if the ask is only to enroll them in Intune to leverage defender/BitLocker services - go directly to Azure AD's join approach.
2. If you still want to manage patch management/mcm BitLocker but Defender via cloud, the approach should be Azure Hybrid AD join.
3. You can still use autopilot using both of these approaches.

@R.G. Thanks for your input! How long have you been using Falcon?
SentinelOne is my recommended solution.
