Overview

CrowdStrike is a single agent solution to stop breaches, ransomware, and cyber attacks with comprehensive visibility and protection across endpoints, workloads, data, and identity.

The CrowdStrike integration allows you to collect real-time CrowdStrike detection events and alerts as Datadog logs.
