- CrowdStrike and Nord announce broader alliance
- Partnership will see Falcon Go and Falcon Enterprise integrate into NordLayer
- Seeks to help SMEs deal with growing security concerns
A new partnership between CrowdStrike and Nord Security aims to help bring enterprise-grade security tools to SMBs around the world.
The partnership will allow CrowdStrike Falcon Go and Falcon Enterprise tools to be integrated into Nord Security’s NordLayer network security platform.
The new combined tool aims to help SMEs address the critical threats they face.
Improved protection for SMEs
CrowdStrike’s latest survey on the state of SMB security lays bare the reality of SMB security. Less than half (42%) of SMEs provide their employees with regular security training and less than half (47%) of microbusinesses have a security plan.
Add to that the fact that attackers are rapidly turning to artificial intelligence tools to help create malware and complex attack techniques, and you can see why SMBs are such an easy target. Additionally, only 11% of SMBs have access to AI-based security tools.
The new set of tools provided through NordLayer includes CrowdStrike Falcon, which provides an AI-powered tool for threat detection and intelligence.
Additionally, Device Control functionality allows small IT teams to monitor all endpoints and their connected USB devices and peripherals. iOS and Android devices can also be protected using CrowdStrike Falcon.
NordLayer provides an enterprise VPN to encrypt all internet traffic for office and remote workers, and zero trust network access (ZTNA) to verify users before they can access enterprise tools and devices and prevent unauthorized entry. For more information, visit the NordLayer site.
