CrowdStrike is a class-leading endpoint monitoring solution. It collects a wealth of activity data from each managed endpoint that can be fairly voluminous. This includes network connectivity, DNS request, process activity, health checks, and the list goes on. In fact, there are over 400 event types reported by CrowdStrike! These events are a gold mine for threat hunters and blue teams looking for unusual or malicious activity. It can be extremely costly to place all this data in a SIEM.
