Messages that matter

Clear communication is key to effective security management, but many security teams deal with excessive alerts from false positives, duplicates, and unfiltered notifications. This overload can cause alert fatigue, making it tough to find the signal in the noise. Crowdalert harnesses the power of human intelligence and machine learning to transform your whole company into first-line SOC analysts. With this approach, SecOps teams can make quicker, more informed decisions, zeroing in on what truly needs their attention.

Real-Time Insights Through Automated Identity Mapping

Crowdalert’s automated identity mapping is key to its effectiveness, continuously tracking account activities and linking them to specific security events in real time. If a user typically accesses sensitive financial reports from the office but suddenly attempts to view them from a personal laptop in a coffee shop, Crowdalert flags this action as unusual. The platform’s identity correlation tools add critical context from across your systems, showing how these actions relate to each other. This includes details like the user’s role, historical access patterns, and typical data interactions, providing security teams with insights that help them prioritize investigations.

Turning User Actions into Security Intelligence

Crowdalert analyzes historical account behavior to hone in on meaningful deviations. By watching how users typically behave, it can pick up on patterns and quickly spot anything unusual. Say someone usually logs in from Los Angeles during business hours, but suddenly tries accessing sensitive files from Vancouver at an odd hour or a new device—Crowdalert catches that as a potential red flag. This kind of analysis looks at details like access times, the type of data, and each user’s usual behavior, so teams aren’t overwhelmed by irrelevant notifications and get valuable context on the alerts that matter.

Efficient Alert Management Within Familiar Platforms

Crowdalert’s real-time security alerts are actionable, delivering clear and concise information that helps you respond quickly to high priorities. With its security workflow integration, these alerts fit seamlessly into your existing tools and processes. Whether you’re using platforms like Jira, Microsoft Teams, ServiceNow, PagerDuty, or Slack, Crowdalert ensures that you can manage incidents in the environments your team is already familiar with. This not only simplifies incident management but also lets teams maintain focus on their critical tasks while keeping an eye out for potential threats. Reducing unnecessary disruptions means everyone can stay engaged without missing a beat.

Smarter Alerting Through Continuous Learning

Crowdalert’s correlation engine learns from user interactions. When employees provide feedback on security prompts, it knows what to expect and whether a priority alert for your security team is necessary. This human feedback loop ensures that notifications are tailored to your needs. Whether it’s a rise in phishing attempts or unusual login patterns, Crowdalert adapts to keep you one step ahead.

Transforming Security Communication

Crowdalert empowers everyone in the organization with an easy way to engage in security measures. This fosters a culture of security responsibility—employees transition from passive observers to active participants, helping to catch issues early and prevent them from escalating into bigger problems. Say goodbye to drowning in irrelevant alerts. With Crowdalert, you get a focused and user-friendly experience that helps you act on what really matters.
