This is the #1 concern raised by customers inquiring with analyst firms Gartner and

…
They simply are not effective in stopping modern threats.

Machine Learning
• Increases effectiveness against new, polymorphic or obfuscated malware
• Works without daily updates
• Works offline
• Data models can be smaller than signature files (if done properly)
• Performance impact less than on-demand or on-access scanning techniques
• Complements
• Behavioral analytics, or IOAs
• Exploit mitigation

THE REMAINING CHALLENGES
Complexity
…
Ever expanding infrastructure
requirements and agent footprint
Always Out of Date
…
By the time your update is
deployed, it is time to start another
Blind Spots
…
Silent failure leads to long dwell
times and false sense of security
2016 CROWDSTRIKE, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
COMPLEXITY
Eliminate operational burden with CrowdStrike
§ No more daily signature updates
§ Smaller footprint
15MB on disk
10MB in memory
§ No reboots
§ No on premise hardware
§ SaaS scalability
2016 CROWDSTRIKE, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
ALWAYS OUT OF DATE
Outpace the attacker with CrowdStrike
§ No need to develop AV signatures
§ Machine learning and IOAs are more
persistent protection mechanisms
§ CrowdStrike only requires 15MB on disk
§ 70MB-150MB typical for AV signatures
§ Some ML models balloon to 300MB
§ Single-sensor design eliminates
dependency issues
§ SaaS delivery ensures real-time
updates when necessary

EXAMPLE
3 Month Old Machine Learning Model Immediately Blocks Shamoon 2
§ ML model delivered to
VirusTotal on Aug 25th
§ Blocked Shamoon 2 on its first
appearance in VT on Nov 22nd
§ CrowdStrike was one of only
five vendors to identify it
correctly

BLIND SPOTS
Eliminate dwell time with CrowdStrike
§ AV can only see what it stops
§ No prevention solution can be 100%
effective, not even next-gen solutions
§ Average dwell time still near 200 days
§ Go beyond malware to detect and block
modern attacker techniques
§ CrowdStrike’s EDR offers automatic
detections, eliminating the need for
manual search
§ CrowdStrike’s Overwatch delivers
proactive threat hunting in your
environment, 24x7x365

EXAMPLE
2016 CROWDSTRIKE, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Privilege Escalation from Command Line
EXAMPLE
• AV signatures, IOCs and Application
Control are ineffective against this kind
of threat
• Even machine learning can’t stop this
because it is a trusted executable
• Would you know how to search for this?
• Even if you knew how, do you have the
bandwidth to search?
• CrowdStrike IOAs operate in real time and
automate the detection process so that
you don’t have to search
2016 CROWDSTRIKE, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR
If you’re not 100% effective at
prevention, then you need
strong detection
Even some next-gen players
have bloated endpoint agents
Unverified efficacy claims
“Bake in” periods are like HIPS
all over again
Telemetry without intelligence
is worthless
Over-emphasis on malware
and/or forgetting the rest of
the kill chain
