CrowdStrike Launches Cybersecurity Search Engine

Cloud-based endpoint security firm CrowdStrike announced on Tuesday that it has expanded the capabilities of its Falcon platform by adding a powerful search engine. The search engine is powered by Falcon MalQuery, which CrowdStrike claims is more than 250 times faster than other malware search tools. MalQuery uses a patent-pending indexing technology and it allows users to filter results so that they are provided only the most relevant information. CrowdStrike says its threat database has indexed more than 700 million files totaling over 560 TB of malware, and it ingests over 51 billion security events every day.
