What is CrowdStrike Falcon Spotlight?

CrowdStrike Falcon Spotlight is an EDR-integrated vulnerability assessment module built on the CrowdStrike Falcon platform. Unlike traditional vulnerability scanners, Spotlight leverages the existing Falcon agent already deployed for endpoint detection and response, providing scanless vulnerability assessment that continuously evaluates endpoints for vulnerabilities without running network scans or requiring additional agents. This approach eliminates scanning overhead, provides real-time vulnerability data, and ties vulnerability context directly to threat intelligence.

Best for: CrowdStrike Falcon customers wanting vulnerability visibility without deploying additional scanning infrastructure

Cons
  • Requires existing CrowdStrike Falcon deployment
