Security is a team sport. For that reason, Beyond Identity prioritizes security integrations as a core part of our platform. 

CrowdStrike Falcon Insight XDR is a critical integration within our platform. With this bidirectional integration configured, IT and security teams can define risk-based access policies using risk signals from CrowdStrike and leverage CrowdStrike to quarantine devices deemed risky by Beyond Identity. 

Learn more about the key features of our CrowdStrike integration to make the most out of the Beyond Identity Secure Access platform. 

1. Real-time risk signals to enrich access decisions

Going beyond the shallow integration typical of other IAM and authentication tools, Beyond Identity empowers organizations to use over 45 risk signals directly from CrowdStrike Falcon XDR. Our comprehensive integration support allows you to set risk-based access policies evaluated using real-time device security posture. 

By factoring in real-time data—such as the presence of the CrowdStrike agent, overall Zero Trust Assessment score, compatible OS version supported, and more—organizations can evaluate the current risk of any given access request. If any red flags arise, Beyond Identity can deny access or prompt the user for an additional biometric factor as dictated by your risk policy. 

Access decisions based on the most up-to-date device risk posture, hydrated by signals from CrowdStrike, allow you to shift detection and response to access prevention. 

2. Continuous risk-based authentication for ongoing protection

Securing access must go beyond initial access. Security threats can arise at any point during active sessions, which is why Beyond Identity delivers continuous authentication. 

The CrowdStrike integration is fully supported as part of continuous authentication. Any risk signal you choose to evaluate at the time of initial access request can be re-evaluated on an admin-defined interval (measured in minutes). If policy detects a change in CrowdStrike risk attribute, actions can be taken immediately (see quarantine risky device via CrowdStrike). 

This continuous approach to authentication keeps security adaptable to real-time risk, effectively shutting down potential vulnerabilities before they’re exploited by bad actors. 

3. Quarantine risky devices via CrowdStrike

Our integration with CrowdStrike is bidirectional. We ingest risk signals from CrowdStrike to enforce access policy and can reach out to CrowdStrike programmatically to take action on risky devices. 

If a device is flagged as risky, Beyond Identity empowers you to take immediate action by leveraging CrowdStrike to quarantine the untrusted device. This ensures that compromised devices are instantly isolated from accessing sensitive resources, preventing potential threats from spreading across the network. 

The combination of device quarantine with real-time access control enables organizations to act swiftly and decisively, minimizing the risk of breaches and maintaining the integrity of their security posture.

4. Resilient architecture for uninterrupted authentication

Security is only effective when it’s reliable. Nothing is as frustrating as not being able to authenticate. Beyond Identity ensures its authentication remains resilient and reliable, even if external services face downtime.

This built-in resiliency allows organizations to keep functioning seamlessly, confident in the knowledge that their authentication mechanisms won’t be interrupted by third-party service interruptions and outages. 

5. Simple policy creation with attribute descriptions

Managing access control across an entire organization can be complex, but Beyond Identity simplifies this process by providing detailed descriptions of each CrowdStrike risk signal within its policy engine. Security and IT administrators can easily understand what each risk attribute means and how they can use it within their access policies. 

This functionality helps streamline policy creation, allowing teams to set up rules that are tailored to their organization’s specific needs and threat landscape. The simplicity of administration makes it easy for organizations of all sizes to get started with and get value out of Beyond Identity’s robust integrations.
