Falcon Firewall Management: Host Firewall
Falcon Firewall Management provides simple, centralized firewall management, making it easy to manage and enforce host firewall policies.
Firewall Management Made Easy
As more organizations look to adopt host firewall capabilities native to the operating system, they often find effective functionality but are faced with complex, cumbersome management and visibility blind spots that can frustrate administrators and open security gaps.
CrowdStrike® Falcon Firewall Management eliminates the complexity associated with native firewalls by making it easy to manage and enforce policies using a simple, centralized approach. An easy-to-understand activity view provides instant visibility allowing you to monitor and troubleshoot critical rules to enhance protection and inform action.
Delivered via the CrowdStrike Falcon® lightweight agent, single management console and cloud-delivered architecture, Falcon Firewall Management immediately enhances protection from network threats with minimal impact on the host - from initial enablement to ongoing day-to-day use.
