The Anatomy of an Attack: Why Every Minute Matters

The Anatomy of an Attack: Why Every Minute Matters

What's Inside

The Evolution of Cybersecurity

Why Your Business Needs More Than Just Tools

Your antivirus subscription isn’t enough anymore. Neither is that expensive SIEM tool gathering dust in the corner. Today’s cyber threats move faster and hit harder than ever before, using techniques that slip right past traditional security. As Tampa’s #1 ranked MSSP, we’ve seen how modern attacks bypass even enterprise-grade tools when there’s no human expertise behind them.

The New Face of Cyber Attacks

Remember when cybersecurity meant installing antivirus and setting up a firewall? Those days are gone. Today’s attackers use legitimate tools, browser extensions, and admin utilities to compromise your network. They’re not breaking down the front door – they’re walking through it wearing your employee’s badge. Our military-grade managed IT catches these sophisticated attacks that traditional tools miss.

Why Traditional Security Keeps Failing

Most small businesses rely on a stack of security tools that don’t talk to each other. When an alert fires, it takes hours or days to investigate – time you don’t have when attackers can reach lateral movement in under 60 minutes. Your IT team is already overwhelmed just keeping the lights on. They can’t be security experts too.

The AI Advantage

This is where modern security changes the game. Our CrowdStrike platform processes 135 million security decisions every minute, analyzing 3 trillion events weekly to spot threats before they cause damage. It’s the oldest and largest AI in the cybersecurity space, with over a decade of threat intelligence built in.

Beyond Basic Detection

AI Automation needs Human Expertise

But even the best AI needs human expertise behind it. Our analysts hunt threats proactively, investigating suspicious patterns and stopping attacks before they start. While other providers just forward alerts, we take action. When that browser extension tries to steal credentials or that admin tool starts acting strange, we’re already containing the threat.

The Power of ONE

You don’t need more security tools. You need the right ones, working together, backed by expertise. Our ONE Platform combines advanced AI with human intelligence, delivering:

Threat Prevention That Works

We stop 35,000 potential breaches before they happen. Not by throwing more tools at the problem, but by combining battle-tested AI with expert threat hunters who understand how attackers think. When minutes matter, you can’t wait for your IT team to figure out which alert needs attention.

Investigation at Speed

Our analysts investigate faster, armed with AI that correlates threats across 130 tracked adversaries. We don’t just tell you there’s a problem – we solve it, usually before you even know it exists. That’s the difference between security tools and security expertise.

Take Action Now

Don’t wait until attackers are moving laterally through your network. Schedule your free security assessment and see how military-grade protection, backed by both AI and human expertise, keeps your business safe from modern threats.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CrowdStrike Falcon?

Unlike traditional antivirus that waits for known threats, CrowdStrike prevents breaches before they happen. Our military-grade security platform combines AI-powered prevention with 24/7 human expertise. The platform delivers next-generation antivirus through Falcon Prevent, advanced endpoint detection and response capabilities, automated threat hunting, and integrated threat intelligence - all with guaranteed 15-minute response times.

How Does CrowdStrike Stop Ransomware?

Traditional security tools rely on signatures - like looking for known criminals. CrowdStrike's AI hunts for suspicious behavior - like spotting someone casing your building. Our advanced ransomware protection blocked over 30,000 attacks last quarter alone. The multi-layered defense combines AI behavior analysis with automated response capabilities, enabling real-time blocking and instant containment backed by expert threat hunting teams.

Is CrowdStrike FedRAMP Certified?

Yes. CrowdStrike holds full FedRAMP authorization, trusted by federal agencies and defense contractors. Our CMMC compliance framework leverages CrowdStrike's government-grade protection. Beyond FedRAMP, the platform maintains critical certifications including CMMC compliance alignment, NIST framework compatibility, HIPAA certification, and PCI DSS validation - delivering complete compliance coverage for regulated industries.

How Fast is CrowdStrike’s Response Time?

While basic antivirus just sends alerts, our managed services include complete incident response in 15 minutes or less. Last month, we contained a potential breach in 8 minutes - before it could spread beyond a single endpoint. This rapid response combines 24/7 monitoring with automated containment, expert investigation, guided remediation, and thorough root cause analysis to stop threats fast.

What Makes CrowdStrike Different?

Traditional security depends on updating signatures. CrowdStrike's AI-powered protection stops unknown threats by spotting suspicious behavior. One Tampa manufacturer blocked 22 novel attacks in their first month - threats their old antivirus would have missed completely. The cloud-native platform uses a single lightweight agent to deliver behavior-based blocking, integrated intelligence, and automated hunting - all without complex infrastructure.

Is CrowdStrike Good for Small Business?

Basic antivirus leaves gaps that cost small businesses $200,000 on average per incident. Our military-grade protection scales to any size while staying simple to manage. With no hardware required, simple deployment, automated management, and complete visibility, small businesses get enterprise-grade protection without enterprise complexity or cost.

We used Ridge for the implementation of Zscaler to provide improved cyber security for our home working staff, during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Ridge completed configuration quickly and easily, providing clear guidance at every step so we gained an understanding of the system. Ridge also helped us resolve additional firewall rule issues. At all stages of the implementation, Ridge has been responsive and patient.
