CrowdStrike Unveils Revolutionary Falcon for XIoT Innovations
The latest Falcon for XIoT innovations from CrowdStrike bring a new level of depth to industrial and operational telemetry, eliminating blind spots and complexity across diverse environments.
AUSTIN, Texas, and Barcelona, November 5, 2025 - CrowdStrike, a global cybersecurity leader (https://www.crowdstrike.com/en-us/), today announced groundbreaking Falcon® for XIoT (https://www.crowdstrike.com/en-us/platform/falcon-for-xiot/) innovations. These innovations offer zero-touch asset discovery, real-time segmentation visibility, and unified insights across OT and XIoT environments. By extending the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform's (https://www.crowdstrike.com/en-us/platform/) capabilities, these innovations eliminate blind spots and complexity, consolidating security across IT, cloud, and OT/XIoT environments.
The Growing Attack Surface in Industrial Systems
As industrial systems become increasingly interconnected, security teams encounter growing challenges in managing blind spots across segmented networks, unmanaged devices, and legacy infrastructure. Many organizations struggle to understand their connected assets, the communication patterns of these assets, or the effectiveness of segmentation policies. These gaps create opportunities for adversaries to exploit and move laterally between IT and OT environments.
Zero-Touch Discovery and Unified Visibility for OT Security
Falcon for XIoT offers continuous operational insight without the need for hardware dependencies, intrusive scans, or manual effort, which are common in legacy OT tools. With its lightweight architecture, Falcon provides safe and scalable visibility into operational environments without disrupting critical systems. By incorporating additional OT and XIoT telemetry, the Falcon platform gains richer context, enabling faster and more informed security decisions across operational environments.
New Falcon for XIoT Capabilities
CrowdStrike's latest innovations enhance discovery, monitoring, and asset interaction visibility, providing deeper insights and control over industrial system risks:
- Zero-Touch XIoT Discovery: Automatically identifies and inventories industrial assets across segmented networks without dedicated sensors, manual configuration, or intrusive scans, offering instant visibility without disrupting operations.
- Segmentation Visibility: Provides real-time context into device-to-device communication and segmentation policy enforcement, helping detect violations and reduce lateral movement risk across IT and OT networks.
- Dynamic User Experience: Unifies industrial asset and vulnerability data in a single, customizable interface within the Falcon platform, giving teams the context to explore, assess, and act faster.
Elia Zaitsev, CrowdStrike's Chief Technology Officer, stated, "Customers are demanding a single platform to understand risk, unify protection, and eliminate complexity across every attack surface. With these innovations, customers can replace the fragmented tools they've relied on for too long, accelerating consolidation on Falcon."
