CrowdStrike Falcon Data Security

Secure sensitive data wherever it lives and moves.

Discover and classify sensitive information, understand who is moving it and where it is going, and stop unauthorised data movement across endpoints, browsers, GenAI, SaaS and cloud environments.

The data security challenge

Access is step one. Data theft is the objective.

Sensitive data is constantly created, copied, transformed and shared. Traditional DLP and point-in-time discovery tools can leave blind spots when users, automated processes or adversaries move information through new channels.

01Fragmented tools

Separate products create inconsistent policies, noisy alerts and operational overhead.

02Unpredictable movement

Data flows through endpoints, browsers, SaaS platforms, cloud services and GenAI tools.

03Valid credentials

Legitimate access can hide accidental exposure, insider activity or adversary behaviour.

04Slow response

Post-event investigation may reveal what happened only after sensitive information has left.

Faster response to detect and stop data loss in a referenced customer outcome.

Modern data protection

Turn data movement into a security signal.

Falcon Data Security brings discovery, visibility, detection and enforcement together, helping security teams stop data exposure before it becomes a breach.

Discover and classify

Identify sensitive information as it is created, accessed and used, with consistent classification across supported environments.

  • Built-in sensitive data patterns
  • Custom classification policies
  • Consistent labels across channels

See data in motion

Understand who moved sensitive data, what it contained, where it went and how it left the organisation.

  • User and device context
  • Origin and destination visibility
  • Real-time movement analysis

Prioritise true risk

Use adversary-informed detections and cross-domain context to focus analysts on the highest-risk events.

  • Insider-risk indicators
  • Endpoint and identity context
  • Reduced alert noise

Enforce policy

Allow approved business activity while blocking unauthorised movement through high-risk destinations and channels.

  • Granular destination controls
  • Endpoint egress prevention
  • Flexible rule enforcement

Deploy rapidly

Use the unified Falcon sensor to reduce additional infrastructure, agent complexity and deployment effort.

  • Single platform experience
  • Minimal added infrastructure
  • Scalable policy rollout

Act with context

Investigate data activity alongside user, endpoint, identity and cloud events rather than treating it as an isolated alert.

  • Unified investigation workflow
  • Threat intelligence context
  • Faster analyst decisions
Protection across the data journey

One view across the places data lives and moves.

Protect information through the channels modern teams use every day.

Real-time visibility

Know who moved what, where it went and why it matters.

Traditional reports often show an event without enough context. Falcon Data Security helps connect sensitive content with the user, device, origin, destination and surrounding security activity.

Granular enforcement

Support the business without losing control of the data.

Apply policy based on data type, user, destination and channel. Approved workflows can continue while risky or unauthorised transfers are blocked, alerted or investigated.

Control web and GenAI uploadsPrevent sensitive content from being submitted to unapproved destinations.
Protect endpoint egressMonitor and control movement through removable media, printing and other supported channels.
Maintain business flexibilityUse destination-aware rules to allow legitimate collaboration and approved repositories.
High-value use cases

Protect the data risks organisations face now.

USE CASE 01

GenAI data protection

Detect and prevent sensitive information from being uploaded into unapproved generative AI tools.

USE CASE 02

Insider risk

Surface unusual movement, bulk transfers and suspicious destinations with user and endpoint context.

USE CASE 03

Source-code protection

Allow uploads to approved repositories while blocking personal accounts and unauthorised services.

USE CASE 04

Regulated data

Identify and control movement of personal, financial, health and other sensitive information.

Frequently asked questions

Understanding Falcon Data Security.

What is CrowdStrike Falcon Data Security?

Falcon Data Security is a data protection capability delivered through the CrowdStrike Falcon platform. It is designed to discover and classify sensitive data, monitor how it moves, identify risky activity and enforce controls across supported endpoint, browser, SaaS, GenAI and cloud use cases.

How is this different from traditional DLP?

Traditional DLP often relies on separate agents, complex infrastructure and static policies. Falcon Data Security uses the Falcon platform and cross-domain security context to connect data movement with user, endpoint, identity and cloud activity.

Can it help control data uploaded to GenAI services?

Yes. Policies can help detect sensitive content being submitted through supported browser workflows and block or alert on transfers to destinations that are not approved by the organisation.

Can it show who transferred a sensitive document?

Falcon Data Security is designed to provide context including the user, device, sensitive content classification, origin, destination and transfer method for supported activity.

Does it work with Microsoft Purview?

It can complement Microsoft Purview and existing information-governance controls. The right architecture depends on your Microsoft licensing, data locations, endpoint controls and the specific movement channels you need to monitor or block.

How does Vectra support implementation?

Vectra can assist with discovery, design, policy configuration, deployment, testing, operational tuning and integration with your broader CrowdStrike and managed security environment.
