Episode 294: Crowdstrike Falcon, Security Deployment Techniques, & Threat Awareness

Once upon a time we claimed the Mac couldn’t get a virus. Now we know the folly of our ways. There is a red ocean of endpoint protection solutions for the platform today, but we’re curious to better understand the requirements and the benefits. Crowdstrike Falcon is one of those tools and we’ve asked Bilal Habib to join us for this episode to discuss what it is, how it does it, and what are some things an admin needs to know. But we want to tell that story as a journey for how someone in the trenches actually got to know the things!
