What is CrowdStrike?
CrowdStrike Falcon® for Mobile helps protect your mobile devices by detecting vulnerabilities and malicious activity on business-critical apps. It uses a cloud-based platform that collects and analyzes over 50 billion endpoint events every day from millions of sensors in 176 countries.
How does this benefit me?
CrowdStrike adds an extra layer of security to your iOS and iPadOS devices. It monitors your network traffic for unusual or suspicious activity without interfering with your device's performance. The app works in the background and reports any findings to a central system, helping to detect and block threats in real time.
Will it slow down my device?
No, CrowdStrike runs a single app in the background, which has a minimal impact on your device's speed. You won’t notice it affecting your workflow.
What kind of information does it collect?
CrowdStrike does not collect any personal data. It monitors background activity and checks for anything abnormal that might try to connect to the internet.
How will I know if it detects a threat?
f CrowdStrike blocks or prevents a suspicious action, there won’t be an alert on your device. Instead, the alert is sent to a central console monitored by IT staff. If an issue arises, someone from IT may contact you to resolve it.
Which devices have CrowdStrike installed?
CrowdStrike is currently installed on faculty iPads that were purchased as part of the iPad Faculty program staring in the summer 2020.
What do I need to do?
Once the Crowdstrike app is pushed to your device you'll get a popup that looks like this.
Please Tap Ok and the Crowdstrike App will function in the background.
