Organizations face a relentless stream of emerging threats, from zero-day exploits to rapidly evolving adversary tactics. They need protection that keeps pace with this changing landscape without adding operational complexity.
The key challenge here is turning threat intelligence into production-ready detections before attackers can gain an advantage. Building and maintaining effective detection content requires deep visibility into adversary behavior, specialized expertise, and continuous tuning — all resources most organizations lack at scale.
CrowdStrike is introducing Falcon Platform Indicators of Attack (IOAs) to provide and maintain detection content across the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform. This is a new category of CrowdStrike-managed, adversary-driven detections designed to detect attack activity by correlating telemetry across CrowdStrike modules and third-party data sources. They will first be delivered in CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM, where they are now generally available.
This expands how CrowdStrike delivers IOAs across the Falcon platform. Historically, CrowdStrike IOAs detect malicious activity on endpoints, and cloud IOAs identify threats in cloud environments. Falcon Platform IOAs build on these capabilities by surfacing detections across all modules customers use.
Falcon Platform IOAs are maintained at scale and continuously refined by CrowdStrike detection engineers working alongside CrowdStrike incident response (IR) experts, CrowdStrike Falcon® Adversary OverWatch™ threat hunters, and the CrowdStrike Falcon® Complete managed detection and response (MDR) team.
Figure 1. Falcon Platform IOAs reduce detection management while accelerating protection against emerging threats.
Falcon Platform IOAs are designed to close the gap between threat discovery and threat detection. They are automatically created, deployed, and maintained based on emerging adversary activity, newly disclosed vulnerabilities, zero-day threats, and evolving attacker techniques. CrowdStrike detection engineers work closely with experts across the business to rapidly transform newly observed attacker behaviors into these production-ready detections.
Rather than requiring security teams to create and update detection content themselves, Falcon Platform IOAs automatically deliver high-quality detections that extend protection against changing threats so security teams can focus on higher-value activities such as threat hunting, investigation, and response. The result is a more scalable approach to detection operations.
By shifting detection lifecycle management to CrowdStrike, Falcon Platform IOAs deliver several important advantages:
As organizations adopt additional Falcon platform modules, these detections enable advanced turnkey detection coverage that connects signals across security domains. This approach helps security teams uncover complex attack chains that would be difficult to detect through isolated product-specific detections alone.

Effective threat detection requires centralized visibility and cross-correlation. Modern attacks span endpoints, identities, cloud environments, and third-party technologies, generating signals that often appear unrelated until they are connected and analyzed in context.
Falcon Next-Gen SIEM brings these signals together using a layered detection strategy designed to provide comprehensive coverage across the attack lifecycle. Organizations can leverage multiple detection approaches, including:
Falcon Platform IOAs are the ideal complement to this broader detection strategy. While organizations can deploy out-of-the-box content, customize existing detections, and build their own rules to address environment-specific requirements, these IOAs provide continuously updated coverage for emerging threats that demand action in Falcon Next-Gen SIEM.

Customers can also use the Emerging Threats dashboard in Falcon Next-Gen SIEM to quickly access information about recently identified threats, rule templates for retrospective threat hunting, and guidance on how to investigate and respond to evolving adversary activity.
As the threat landscape evolves faster than organizations can build and maintain detection content, security teams need a model that shifts detection engineering from a reactive, manual effort to a continuously delivered capability. Falcon Platform IOAs advance this vision by operationalizing CrowdStrike’s expertise and threat intelligence at scale to help organizations adapt to emerging threats with greater speed, consistency, and confidence.
Building on Falcon Next-Gen SIEM’s comprehensive detection and content ecosystem, Falcon Platform IOAs extend the platform’s detection strategy with continuously updated, CrowdStrike-curated detections for emerging threats. Together with existing detections, automation, and operational content, they help organizations stay ahead of evolving adversaries while simplifying security operations so teams can focus on stopping breaches.
