Filigran and CrowdStrike transform Threat Intelligence into decisive Security Action

Sep 12, 2025 3 min read

When a high-profile cyberattack makes headlines, security teams face an immediate challenge: understanding their exposure, responding rapidly, and ensuring their defenses will hold. There’s no time for delays or uncertainty.

Filigran and CrowdStrike are working together to address this challenge head-on. By combining CrowdStrike’s industry-leading endpoint protection and threat intelligence with Filigran’s Extended Threat Management (XTM) platform, organizations can now seamlessly transform raw intelligence into actionable security outcomes—detecting threats faster, blocking attacks automatically, and continuously validating their defenses.

The Power of Integration

This partnership delivers four key capabilities that security teams need most:

  • Enhanced Intelligence: OpenCTI ingests indicators and threat data from CrowdStrike Falcon® Adversary Intelligence, creating a unified view of your threat landscape
  • Instant Detection: Threat indicators flow automatically from OpenCTI to CrowdStrike Falcon® Insight XDR enabling detections and prevention
  • Automated Protection: CrowdStrike Falcon® Prevent blocks threats identified from OpenCTI’s correlated threat intelligence, without manual intervention
  • Continuous Validation: OpenAEVleverages the existing CrowdStrike Falcon sensors to simulate attacks and verify your security posture—no additional deployment required

Transforming Intelligence into Action

The integration between Filigran’s OpenCTI and CrowdStrike Falcon® platform eliminates the traditional gaps between threat awareness and threat response:

Comprehensive Threat Enrichment

Falcon Adversary Intelligence → OpenCTI

Threat Enrichment & Context 
Falcon Intelligence → OpenCTI

OpenCTI consolidates CrowdStrike’s world class threat intelligence with all your threat data sources—open source, premium feeds, government advisories, and internal intelligence. This creates a complete 360-degree view of threats targeting your sector, geography, and technology stack. No more jumping between platforms or manually correlating data; everything you need is in one place.

Automated Endpoint Scanning

OpenCTI → Falcon Insight XDR

Automated Observable update Trigger CrowdStrike action

When new threats emerge, every second counts. OpenCTI automatically pushes relevant indicators to Falcon Insight XDR, enabling detection and prevention across managed endpoints. This automation minimizes manual processes and ensures you’re continuously protected against the latest threats.

Proactive Threat Blocking

OpenCTI → Falcon Prevent

Labeling for Proactive Threat Blocking

Beyond detection, the integration enables automatic blocking. As OpenCTI identifies malicious indicators, they’re immediately actioned in Falcon Prevent antivirus policies, stopping threats before they can establish a foothold in your environment.

Validating Your Security Posture

Knowing about threats isn’t enough; you need confidence that your defenses will actually stop them. OpenAEV addresses this critical need:

Agent-Free Attack Simulation

OpenAEV + Falcon Sensor

Breach and Attack Simulation Without New Agents

OpenAEV uniquely leverages your existing Falcon sensor deployment to conduct breach and attack simulations. There’s no need to deploy additional software—you can immediately begin validating your security controls against real-world attack scenarios.

Continuous Control Verification

OpenAEV → Falcon

Each simulation reveals whether Falcon is properly configured to stop specific attack techniques. When gaps are identified, teams can immediately adjust policies, update configurations, or quarantine vulnerable assets through Falcon’s response capabilities. OpenAEV also facilitates tabletop exercises, ensuring your team is as prepared as your technology.

The Bottom Line

The partnership between Filigran and CrowdStrike represents a fundamental shift in how organizations operationalize threat intelligence. By breaking down the silos between intelligence, detection, response, and validation, security teams gain something invaluable: confidence.

Confidence that they understand their threat landscape. Confidence that their defenses will detect and block attacks. And confidence that their security investments are delivering real protection, not just promises.
