Xcitium vs Crowdstrike

CAPABILITY		CROWDSTRIKE
PROTECTION	PROACTIVE PROTECTION Pre-emptive, detection-less, Next-Gen ZeroDwell Containment ushers Unknown Threats into a virtualization session at run time, instantaneously and automatically, without disrupting a moment of user or business operations. Only actionable alerts generated.	MISSED DETECTIONS = NO PROTECTION Cloud-dependent, detection-based Legacy EDR protection that invites attack dwell times, often misses detections, and generates significant alert fatigue. Successful detections often come after an attack payload has detonated and basically identified itself. Relies on human-based fallibility or expertise to assess risk and perform remediations.
DETECTION-LESS & DETECTION BASED COVERAGE	DETECTION-LESS INNOVATION Provides machine-speed DETECTION-LESS technology that isolates Unknown objects entering your organization - guilty until proven innocent. Automated virtualization of Unknowns prevents any access to your critical assets & resources via Next-Gen Zero Dwell time. Xcitium also employs DETECTION-BASED tech in parallel for hardening against future attacks. To date, none of our 5000+ customers have ever been breached.	POOR DETECTION, LONG DWELL TIMES A Legacy Detection-based security model that requires significant tuning for substandard protection results. Good marketing but poor detection rates, and egregiously poor malware dwell times. Little transparency about their actual detection rates, and inability to detect Unknown Threats (attacks without known signatures or hashes).
TRIAGE & REMEDIATION	ELIMINATES ALERT FATIGUE Contained attacks are no longer threats, so ZeroDwell technology generates only actionable, High-Definition alerts. This pre-emptive Next-Gen innovation virtually eliminates alert fatigue and false positives, allowing the SOC team and security experts to focus on proactive threat hunting, and hardening services.	HARD TO USE AND MANAGE, ALERT FATIGUE Provides manual and script-based mitigation for most alerts types. Like most detection-based EDRs, prone to extreme alert fatigue and ongoing false positives that can be difficult and time consuming to manually triage and investigate. Legacy EDR’s like Crowdstrike Falcon can generate a lot of alert noise and be very costly to manage and run.
INCIDENT RESPONSE	FREE $0 INCIDENT RESPONSE Xcitium does not charge for Incident Response. In the rare event it is required, and to date, IR has never been required by our 3500+ customers, we will provide it free of charge.	LEAST COSTLY IR PLAN = $49,500.00 Crowdstrike is one of those detection-based vendors that actually makes money off Incident Response fees after you get breached because their detection failed. This is the problem with the entire detection-based cybersecurity industry. You pay for their detection failures.
ENTERPRISE-SCALE, END-TO-END INTEGRATION	SEAMLESS SCALABILITY Out of the box seamless scalability with the most comprehensive, easiest to visualize MITRE attack coverage and end-to-end integrations for EDR, MDR, and XDR.	MANUAL CONFIGURATIONS CrowdStrike provides manual, partial multi-tenant configurations that can be difficult to setup and maintain, and can require many days of setup effort.
MANAGED SERVICES & EASE OF DEPLOYMENT	DEMONSTRATED EASE OF USE Simplified, optimized management of large deployments with ease; includes remote scripting across multiple attack surfaces. Full remote native OS tools coverage. Fully managed continuous monitoring and SOC services for any sized business, whether you’re an enterprise with thousands of endpoints or an MSP serving hundreds of customers. Lightweight EP, cloud, and network sensors can be instantly deployed via group policy object or the Xcitium ITSM with automatic updates every release.	COMPLEXITY, STABILITY ISSUES Manages individual assets using remote commands, but provides no bulk operations. Visibility provided for a subset of devices; does create ongoing risk of exposure. Global intel and threat hunting labs Many users report UI and usage complexity. The Legacy Crowdstrike EP agent is reported to run at reduced capacity, which can exacerbate risk exposure.
THREAT HUNTING, THREAT INTEL & FORENSICS	ELITE EXPERTISE & GLOBAL INTEL Xcitium’s dedicated team of elite, highly-skilled security specialists hunt continuously for anomalies, suspicious activity, threat actor profiles and methodologies, and potential threats across your organization’s endpoints, network, and cloud environments.	STABILITY ISSUES Investigates and advises on threat activity, but with so many missed detections, and because Unknowns cannot be detected, the forensics and global intel are too little, too late, and too expensive.

XCITIUM NEXT-GEN SECURITY BUNDLES

Xcitium Bundles are priced to be accessible and affordable
because security should be a right, not a high-priced privilege.

WHY DO DETECTION-BASED STRATEGIES CONSISTENTLY FAIL?

UNKNOWNS CANNOT BE DETECTED

SOLUTION: Xcitium is the only cybersecurity vendor in the world that uses DETECTION-LESS tech
to IDENTIFY and act on every object entering your organization at machine speed, as either:

KNOWN-GOOD

It’s signature
is known &
safe – allow it in!

KNOWN-BAD

It’s signature
is known & it’s
bad– kill it!

UNKNOWN

Here Hides Ransomware & Malware

It has no known signature or hash, so instantly
usher this object into CPU-virtualization as an
untrusted entity! – GUILTY TILL PROVEN INNOCENT

XCITIUM INVENTED THE “UNKNOWNS” CATEGORY OF REAL-TIME THREAT INSIGHT

WITH XCITIUM'S COMBINED DETECTION-LESS + DETECTION-BASED INNOVATIONS,
YOU NO LONGER NEED TO RELY ON CROWDSTRIKE'S DETECTION-ONLY STRATEGIES FOR PROTECTION.

XCITIUM’S
ZERO DWELL TRACK RECORD:

ENDPOINTS INFECTED TO DATE

RANSOMS PAID TO DATE

ORGANIZATION
DAMAGE TO DATE

When CROWDSTRIKE'S DETECTION-FIRST, DETECTION-ONLY security solutions fail, and they always fail, you pay the price. They cannot detect Unknown Threats! Headlines are rife with breaches and ransoms occurring in businesses that have expensive detection-first security solutions deployed.

But when technology advancements and innovations peak, like Xcitium’s detection-less ZeroDwell Containment, established industry methods become increasingly unsustainable and unnecessarily costly.

Innovation allows for price point reduction because new technology evolves to simplify the complexity and take on much of the heavy lifting. Due to Xcitium’s patented innovations, a whole new price point is possible!

No one delivers the full end to end the way Xcitium does. Everything is integrated. It all just works.
