As part of Box’s continued dedication to providing frictionless security for your organization’s most critical content, we will be launching a new integration with the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, bringing powerful new endpoint protection to our customers.
Endpoint protection is an essential component to any content protection strategy, layering on top of cloud-based security controls to detect threats and protect against them at the device level. With CrowdStrike, an industry-leading security provider, Box is now able to ingest sophisticated risk signals from the Falcon platform directly into Box Shield and use the CrowdStrike ZTA score assess the trustworthiness/riskiness of a device seeking to access your organization’s Box content, then block access if necessary. This integration will enable admins to:
-
Link a CrowdStrike account and ingest risk signals from organization devices
-
Set a minimum acceptable score within Box Shield to allow access
-
Block/log out users seeking to access Box with devices that don’t meet the minimum score requirement
A compromised device can provide a foothold for bad actors to evade even strong security controls, so it’s critical that organizations secure those endpoint devices being used. To learn more about how Box security partners provide enhanced content protection to our customers, look here.
