We use an AI-first mindset as a force multiplier to proactively and continuously accelerate execution, build expertise, uncover insights, and solve complex, CrowdStrike Falcon is a two-component security product. One component is the "Sensor" - a lightweight agent installed on endpoint systems that observes system activity, recognizes malicious behavior, provides on-box prevention capability, and sends telemetry to the Falcon cloud. The cloud component aggregates Sensor telemetry across each customer's network, correlates malicious behavior across machines, and presents security teams with a prioritized summary of the threats detected in their environments. ## Related Videos - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [Enhancing Workload Security in Kubernetes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/356-enhancing-workload-security-in-kubernetes) - [The Developer Workstation Blind Spot: Why Your Security Stack Can't See What Matters Most](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100254-the-developer-workstation-blind-spot-why-your-security-stack-can-t-see-what-matters-most) - [Training Bots on Deliveroo Data, Alexa Can Swear and Mushroom Electronics - Julia Kordick](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1839-training-bots-on-deliveroo-data-alexa-can-swear-and-mushroom-electronics-julia-kordick) - [Checkmate: 5 Real Incidents That Can End a Software Company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100126-checkmate-5-real-incidents-that-can-end-a-software-company) - [Full Spectrum File Uploads](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/870-full-spectrum-file-uploads) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing) - [9 Ways to Make Money Hacking](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/333-9-ways-to-make-money-hacking) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 191: Malware interviews, EU ❤️ Open Source and Skilled Agents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/645-dev-digest-191-malware-interviews-eu-open-source-and-skilled-agents)
