  • CrowdStrike Unifies ASPM With CNAPP To Stop Breaches From Code To Cloud


    CrowdStrike

    BENGALURU: CrowdStrike (Nasdaq: CRWD) today announced the general availability of CrowdStrike Falcon® Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) as an integrated part of CrowdStrike Falcon® Cloud Security. With this release, CrowdStrike delivers on its bold vision to simplify and scale modern cloud security through a single, unified platform so Cloud SecOps can operate with the speed and agility of DevOps.

    Cloud intrusions have surged by 75% over the past year, increasing the pressure on SecOps teams that are already grappling with a shortage of skilled personnel and the inefficiency of numerous disjointed tools. With the native integration of ASPM into Falcon Cloud Security, CrowdStrike is driving consolidation across SecOps with a unified platform that enhances risk visibility and protection across the entire cloud estate, from infrastructure to applications and the services running inside of them, enforcing comprehensive, code-to-runtime security. With this release, CrowdStrike is advancing the market and setting a new standard for what customers can expect from a comprehensive CNAPP.

    “The complexity of cloud environments and rapid pace of changes creates misconfigurations and vulnerabilities that adversaries increasingly exploit. Disjointed point products and fragmented platforms create gaps in security defenses that can lead to a breach,” said Karan Gupta, head of engineering, at CrowdStrike. “With the integration of Falcon ASPM with Falcon Cloud Security, we’re providing one platform that provides comprehensive risk visibility and workload protection across the entire cloud estate. This revolutionizes CNAPP with integrated ASPM and provides organizations with a blueprint that bridges the gap between their security and development teams.”

    The Strategic Leader in Cloud Security Sets a New StandardCrowdStrike unifies the critical CNAPP capabilities that define modern cloud security in a single, cloud-native platform, delivering the deep visibility, integration into DevOps workflows, and rapid incident response capabilities teams need to manage and respond to incidents and secure complex cloud infrastructure and applications with priority and context.

    Validated as a market leader by multiple industry analyst firms, CrowdStrike extends its strategic leadership and sets a new standard for modern cloud security with unified CNAPP capabilities from a single agent and single platform that delivers:

    Business Threat Context: SecOps teams can immediately understand and prioritize the high-risk threats and vulnerabilities that target sensitive data and the mission-critical applications that are the foundation of an organization.

    Deep Runtime Visibility: With comprehensive monitoring across runtime environments, security teams can rapidly identify security vulnerabilities across cloud infrastructure, workloads, applications, APIs, GenAI, and data to eliminate security gaps and stop breaches.

    Runtime Protection that Stops Breaches: Fueled by industry-leading threat intelligence, Falcon Cloud Security detects and prevents cloud-based threats in real-time, delivering the security outcome customers need most – stopping the breach.

    Industry Leading MDR and CDR: By unifying industry-leading managed threat hunting with deep visibility across cloud, identity, and endpoints, CrowdStrike’s Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) speeds detection and response across every stage of a cloud attack, even as threats move laterally from cloud to endpoint.

    Shift Left Security: By embedding security early in the application development lifecycle, Falcon Cloud Security enables teams to preemptively address potential issues, streamlining the development process and boosting efficiency across development and security operations.

    “With CrowdStrike Falcon ASPM, we’ve gone from multiple tools, high complexity and spending a lot for poor visibility to a single pane of glass where we can do everything with one platform,” said Jason Deluce, director of information technology, Porter Airlines. “Cybersecurity is key to scaling the company and we know CrowdStrike is there for us.”

  • India’s IndiGo Orders 30 Airbus A350 Widebody Aircraft

    A350, the aircraft of choice for IndiGo’s long-haul ambitions

    A320 Family has powered IndiGo’s expansion in domestic, and regional markets

    TOULOUSE: IndiGo, India’s largest airline, has placed a firm order for 30 Airbus A350-900 aircraft. The order will help expand IndiGo’s international network to long-haul destinations.

    India, the world’s fastest-growing major aviation market, is on the verge of an international travel boom as the economy grows and household incomes rise. The A350 is perfectly positioned to serve the country’s aspirations for long-range travel. The choice of the A350 is a reaffirmation of IndiGo’s continued trust in Airbus and is yet another validation of the aircraft as the undisputed leader in long-haul air travel.

    “Today’s historic moment marks a new chapter for IndiGo and will further shape the future of the airline and for Indian aviation at the same time. For IndiGo, after successfully pioneering the Indian skies with an unprecedented journey, its fleet of 30 Airbus A350-900 aircraft will allow IndiGo to embark on its next phase of becoming one of the leading global aviation players. At IndiGo, we take pride in being India’s preferred airline and for offering connectivity to our customers, in and with India. This reaffirms IndiGo’s belief in, and commitment to, the growth of India, and in our strategic partnership with Airbus,” said Pieter Elbers, CEO, of IndiGo.

    “A heartfelt thank you to IndiGo for putting its trust in Airbus once again, and to our respective teams who negotiated this agreement for 30 A350s. IndiGo’s first widebody order opens an exciting new chapter in our close partnership. We are proud that our fuel-efficient, next-generation A320 Family revolutionized domestic air travel in India, and that now the A350 is poised to replicate the same success on long-haul routes,” Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales, Commercial Aircraft.

    Bound in a relationship of symbiotic growth with India for more than half a century, Airbus products and services have catalysed the growth of the country’s civil aviation sector. While the Airbus A320 Family is supporting the democratisation of air travel in India, the A350 has become the reference aircraft to unlock the true potential of the international market for the Indian carriers.

    IndiGo is among the fastest growing airline companies in the world, and is one of the largest A320 Family customers.

    The A350 is the world’s most modern and efficient wide-body aircraft in the 300-410 seater category. The A350’s clean sheet design includes state-of-the-art technologies and aerodynamics delivering unmatched standards of efficiency and comfort. Its new generation engines and use of lightweight materials bring a 25 percent advantage in fuel burn, operating costs and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, compared to previous generation competitor aircraft.
