CrowdStrike unveiled new innovations in its Falcon for XIoT offering, designed to deliver zero-touch asset discovery, real-time segmentation visibility, and unified insights across Operational Technology (OT) and Extended Internet of Things (XIoT) environments. These advancements extend the protection capabilities of the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, removing blind spots, reducing operational complexity, and providing consistent security coverage across IT, cloud, and OT/XIoT infrastructures.

Tackling the Expanding Operational Attack Surface

With industrial systems becoming increasingly interconnected, organizations are confronting new visibility challenges across segmented networks, unmanaged assets, and aging infrastructure. Security teams often lack a complete picture of what devices are connected, how they interact, and whether existing segmentation policies are effective. These blind spots create opportunities for adversaries to move laterally between IT and OT networks, exploiting the lack of unified oversight.

Next-Generation OT Security: Zero-Touch Discovery and Unified Visibility

The Falcon for XIoT platform introduces a modern approach to operational security by delivering continuous insight without the hardware constraints, intrusive scanning, or manual processes typical of traditional OT tools. Its lightweight architecture provides safe, scalable visibility across industrial systems without disrupting mission-critical operations.

By incorporating enhanced OT and XIoT telemetry, Falcon enriches its detection capabilities and provides richer context for faster, more intelligent security decisions across hybrid operational environments.

Key Enhancements in Falcon for XIoT

CrowdStrike’s latest capabilities focus on simplifying asset discovery, improving monitoring, and enhancing interaction visibility to help security teams strengthen their defense posture across industrial networks.

  • Zero-Touch XIoT Discovery: Automatically detects and inventories industrial assets across segmented networks—no need for manual setup, dedicated sensors, or intrusive scans. This delivers immediate visibility without disrupting ongoing operations.
  • Segmentation Visibility: Provides real-time insight into device-to-device communications and segmentation policy effectiveness, enabling rapid detection of violations or lateral movement risks between IT and OT environments.
  • Dynamic User Interface: Consolidates industrial asset and vulnerability data into a single, customizable dashboard within the Falcon platform, empowering teams to explore, analyze, and respond faster to emerging threats.

A Unified Approach to Industrial Cybersecurity

“Organizations today need a single platform that brings together visibility, protection, and simplicity across every attack surface,” said Elia Zaitsev, Chief Technology Officer at CrowdStrike. “These innovations empower customers to move away from the fragmented tools they’ve relied on for years and accelerate security consolidation with the Falcon platform.”
