CrowdStrike Launches Insider Risk Services to Combat Rising Insider Threats
CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), a global leader in cybersecurity, has unveiled CrowdStrike Insider Risk Services, a comprehensive suite of offerings designed to help organizations detect, prevent, and mitigate insider threats. These threats, which stem from negligent employees, malicious insiders, and sophisticated adversaries, pose significant risks to organizations worldwide. With insider threat incidents costing organizations an average of $16.2 million annually, the need for proactive and robust defenses has never been more critical.
The Growing Threat of Insider Risks
Insider threats have evolved beyond traditional risks, now encompassing adversaries who disguise themselves as legitimate employees to exploit trust and infiltrate systems. Additionally, internal employees—whether through negligence or malicious intent—can inadvertently or deliberately compromise security. Despite the rising frequency and cost of these incidents, many organizations still lack formal insider risk programs, leaving them vulnerable to significant financial and reputational damage.
CrowdStrike’s new Insider Risk Services address these challenges head-on by combining the industry-leading threat detection and response capabilities of the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform with advanced threat intelligence, tailored assessments, and expert-led incident response. This multi-layered approach empowers organizations to proactively identify vulnerabilities, strengthen defenses, and mitigate risks before they escalate.
Key Offerings of CrowdStrike Insider Risk Services
CrowdStrike’s Insider Risk Services provide organizations with the tools and expertise needed to combat modern insider threats effectively. Key offerings include:
- Insider Risk Program and Technical Reviews:
Identify gaps in your security posture and strengthen defenses using CrowdStrike’s leading threat intelligence and 24/7 threat hunting capabilities. - Tabletop Exercises and Red Team Simulations:

A Proactive Approach to Insider Threat Management
CrowdStrike’s intelligence-driven approach has already proven effective in combating sophisticated insider threats. For example, the company recently uncovered tactics used by FAMOUS CHOLLIMA, a DPRK-nexus adversary group that infiltrated over 200 U.S. technology companies by disguising malicious activities as legitimate employment. This highlights the critical need for proactive defenses against insider risks.
Thomas Etheridge, Chief Global Services Officer at CrowdStrike, emphasized the importance of these services: “Today’s insider risks, whether caused by an accident, negligence, or a sophisticated adversary, demand proactive and comprehensive protection to safeguard critical assets and minimize any potential impact. With deep adversary insights, extensive experience in countering complex threats, and industry-leading visibility and protection provided by the Falcon platform, CrowdStrike Insider Risk Services sets a new standard for combating the modern insider threat.”
