AUTHORIZED CROWDSTRIKE PARTNER — INDIA

CrowdStrike Identity Protection India

Over 80% of cyberattacks now involve compromised credentials — yet most Indian enterprises protect only the perimeter, leaving Active Directory completely exposed to identity-based attacks.

Falcon Identity Threat Protection stops identity attacks in real time — detecting Pass-the-Hash, Golden Ticket, credential stuffing, and AD reconnaissance before they cause damage.

The Identity Attack Problem in Indian Enterprises

India's rapid digital adoption has expanded the attack surface — but identity security has not kept pace with the threat.

Credential Stuffing at Scale

India is one of the largest sources of leaked credentials globally — dark web markets sell millions of Indian email and password combinations for reuse against corporate VPNs, RDP, and SaaS applications. Falcon ITP detects credential stuffing attempts in real time and blocks logins from compromised accounts automatically.

Active Directory Attacks

Indian enterprises almost universally depend on Microsoft Active Directory — making AD the single highest-value attack target. Pass-the-Hash, Pass-the-Ticket, Kerberoasting, and DCSync attacks compromise AD domain controllers without triggering traditional AV. Falcon ITP monitors AD at the protocol level, detecting these techniques regardless of which endpoint they originate from.

Lateral Movement After Breach

Once an attacker has valid credentials — through phishing, malware, or insider theft — they move laterally through the network using those credentials. Traditional tools cannot distinguish malicious lateral movement from normal admin activity. Falcon ITP builds a behavioral baseline and alerts on anomalous authentication patterns in real time.

DPDPA Insider Threat Risk

Under DPDPA 2023, organizations must protect personal data from unauthorized access — including insider threats. Falcon ITP's UEBA (User and Entity Behavior Analytics) detects unusual data access patterns that may indicate insider threats or compromised privileged accounts, providing audit trails for DPDPA compliance.

Falcon Identity Threat Protection — Capabilities

CrowdStrike Falcon ITP provides real-time protection across your entire Active Directory environment — no endpoint agent required on domain controllers.

Real-Time AD Attack Detection

Monitors all Kerberos and NTLM authentication traffic in real time. Detects Pass-the-Hash, Pass-the-Ticket, Golden Ticket, Silver Ticket, Kerberoasting, and DCSync attacks the moment they occur — not hours later in log analysis.

Credential Compromise Detection

Compares authentication events against CrowdStrike's threat intelligence feed of compromised credentials. If a user's credentials appear on dark web breach databases, Falcon ITP flags their next login — even before a phishing attack occurs.

Behavioral Baselines & Anomaly Detection

Builds per-user behavioral profiles — normal login hours, source IPs, accessed resources, and authentication patterns. Alerts on anomalous deviations that indicate account compromise, insider threat, or lateral movement — with risk scoring for SOC prioritization.

Conditional Access Enforcement

Integrates with Azure AD and on-premises AD to enforce risk-based conditional access — step-up MFA, session termination, or account lock based on Falcon's real-time identity risk score. Blocks high-risk authentications before they succeed.

Privileged Account Protection

Special monitoring for domain administrator accounts, service accounts, and privileged users. Any use of a privileged account from an unusual source, at an unusual time, or for an unusual action triggers immediate alerts and optional automated response.

BFSI and DPDPA Compliance Reporting

Pre-built compliance reports for RBI CSF, SEBI cybersecurity requirements, and DPDPA 2023 — covering identity access governance, privileged account usage, and authentication audit trails. Reduces manual compliance reporting effort significantly.

Falcon ITP for BFSI — India's Highest-Risk Sector

Banking and financial services organizations in India are the #1 target for identity-based attacks — because the payoff for a successful AD compromise is highest. A domain admin credential provides access to core banking systems, SWIFT infrastructure, and every customer account database.

RBI's cybersecurity circular requires robust privileged access management and anomaly detection for banking entities. Falcon ITP directly addresses these requirements with real-time AD monitoring and privileged account behavioral analytics.

Ogma has deployed Falcon ITP for banking and NBFC customers in India — including integration with SWIFT's Customer Security Programme (CSP) requirements around privileged access monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Falcon ITP can operate in agentless mode — reading authentication events from your domain controllers via the LDAP protocol without installing any software on the DCs themselves. This is particularly important for organizations with strict controls on what software runs on domain controllers. An optional sensor on DCs provides deeper telemetry including process-level activity, but agentless mode is sufficient for most identity attack detection scenarios.

Both products monitor Active Directory for identity attacks. The key differences are: Falcon ITP integrates with the broader CrowdStrike Falcon platform — enriching identity alerts with endpoint telemetry, threat intelligence, and the Threat Graph for correlated investigations. Microsoft Defender for Identity integrates more naturally with Azure AD and Microsoft 365 conditional access. If you are primarily a Microsoft shop, Defender for Identity may be sufficient. If you have CrowdStrike EDR deployed, adding Falcon ITP unifies your identity and endpoint telemetry on a single platform.

Yes. Falcon ITP integrates with CrowdStrike's threat intelligence database of compromised credentials — matching authentication attempts against known-breached username and password combinations. When a user's credentials are detected in a dark web breach database, Falcon ITP flags their accounts for monitoring and can enforce step-up MFA on the next login attempt, even before an attacker exploits the breach.

DPDPA 2023 requires organizations to implement appropriate technical safeguards to protect personal data — including protecting against unauthorized access to personal data systems. Falcon ITP directly addresses this through real-time privileged access monitoring, anomaly detection on accounts with access to personal data stores, and audit trails for all authentication events. Ogma can help map Falcon ITP's capabilities to your specific DPDPA obligations during the deployment engagement.
