Enhance Your Security Posture with CrowdStrike!
Maintaining compliance with regulatory standards is crucial for safeguarding your organization’s assets. By utilizing Center for Internet Security (CIS) Benchmarks and Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) STIGs, you can proactively detect misconfigurations, fortify your environment against cyber threats, and ensure adherence to security requirements.
Configuration Assessment Overview
Assess assets in your environment for compliance with Falcon’s configuration assessment tools. Comply with regulatory reporting standards by using Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmarks and Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Security Technical Information Guides (STIGs) to check your assets for misconfigurations. With this information, you can harden your Windows environments against common attack techniques, meet compliance and security requirements, and prepare for audits.
CIS benchmarks and DISA STIGs provide explicit guidance and qualifications for weak or misconfigured systems, including how to assess them. With configuration assessment, you can customize these standards to meet the specific compliance requirements of your environment.
Understanding Configuration Assessment
Configuration assessment gives you a real-time view into your security landscape so you can demonstrate compliance and ensure you’ve hardened your environment against security risks. Use Falcon’s configuration assessment tools alongside Falcon’s vulnerability management tools for a full picture of your assets and vulnerabilities, so you can address security concerns as soon as they arrive and keep your environment up-to-date with CIS recommendations. Configuration assessment only works on hosts that can run a Falcon sensor.
