Extend visibility - BIG-IP joins forces with CrowdStrike

Introduction

The traditional focus in cybersecurity has prioritized endpoints like laptops and mobiles with EDR, as they ​are key entry points for intrusions.​ Modern threats target the full network infrastructure, like routers, ADCs, firewalls, servers, VMs, and cloud instances, as interconnected endpoints.​

All network software is a potential target in today’s sprawling attack surface.​ Summarizing some of those blind points below, 

• Servers, including hardware, VMs, and cloud instances: Often under-monitored, rapid spin-up creates ephemeral risks for exfiltration and lateral movement.​
• Network appliances: Enable traffic redirection, data sniffing, or backdoors, ​
  if compromised.​
• Application delivery components: Vulnerable to session hijacking, code injection, ​
  or DDoS, due to high-traffic processing.​
