Leonardo and CrowdStrike together to strengthen the ability to respond to cyber attacks

Leonardo announces a partnership with CrowdStrike®, a leading company in the cyber security sector. Thanks to this collaboration, Leonardo will make CrowdStrike's Falcon® platform available and will offer the market a portfolio of solutions capable of managing the response to the cyber threat in all its phases: from identification, to protection, from detection to response and remediation.

The transition to remote work in much of the world and the movement of many activities outside the corporate security perimeter have increased the exposure of networks to cyber risk, attracting the attention of hostile groups who have tried to take advantage of the contingent situation. Native to the cloud, CrowdStrike's Falcon platform is an innovative solution based on Artificial Intelligence, which combines new generation antivirus, "IT hygiene", detection and response of endpoints, cyber threat intelligence and proactive threat research through a single agent, to block cyber intrusions in the complex current scenario. Combined with the experience gathered in the field by Leonardo's cyber security operations centers and with its network of security professionals, CrowdStrike's Falcon platform will be available for both the public sector and private individuals who manage essential or strategic services. The union of the skills of the two companies will allow the detection, prevention and management of attacks with greater speed and effectiveness, thus strengthening the security postures of entities and organizations.

“CrowdStrike's holistic approach to security fits perfectly with Leonardo's, managing cyber protection throughout the threat lifecycle across multiple attack scenarios. We are thrilled to be working alongside CrowdStrike, with whom we aim to expand and improve our cybersecurity capabilities, ”commented Aldo Sebastiani, Senior Vice President Cyber ​​Security & Digital Competence Center, Leonardo's Cyber ​​Security division. “In our experience, effective defense against cyber threats begins with creating the environment and conditions under which an attack can be detected and responded appropriately. Readiness is one of our core values, starting with defending our networks, and is further strengthened by the relationship of trust with the security community. From today, thanks to the collaboration with CrowdStrike, Leonardo will be able to offer even more value to its customers and stakeholders in countering cyber attacks ”.

Leonardo is a global leader in security and works with national and supranational organizations to protect critical infrastructures from cyber threats. It is NATO's cyber security partner, whose networks it defends around the world, and works with companies, governments and national security agencies in countries such as Italy and the United Kingdom.

"We are proud to work with a leader in the cyber security industry like Leonardo to provide global protection against a threatening environment that is becoming increasingly complex," said Amanda Adams, CrowdStrike's senior director Europe alliances. “As the techniques of hostile groups to evade security checks continue to progress, speed and agility are key elements in enabling organizations to quickly detect and block cyber intrusions. CrowdStrike and Leonardo together will offer customers complete visibility and the ability to detect threats in real time, for a timely and effective response to large-scale malicious activities. "
