This synergy of threat hunting and intelligence operations has proven invaluable in detecting, disrupting, and stopping modern adversaries. Leveraging these disciplines and trillions of telemetry events from the AI-powered CrowdStrike Falcon® platform, the CAO Team significantly impacts countering adversary activities. CrowdStrike's deep understanding of adversaries, expertise in threat response, and visibility from the Falcon platform empower the CAO Team to excel in breach prevention and customer protection, reinforcing CrowdStrike's commitment to stopping breaches and safeguarding customers.
