Enhancing Incident Response: How Superna and CrowdStrike Protect Your Critical Data

The Evolving Threat Landscape

In today’s cybersecurity environment, incident response (IR) teams are under constant siege. From sophisticated ransomware campaigns to stealthy insider threats, security professionals face an overwhelming volume of attacks—and the stakes have never been higher.

Most organizations have fortified their defenses around endpoint detection, network monitoring, and identity protection. Yet, a critical vulnerability remains: data storage.

Without direct protection of the storage layer, organizations leave themselves exposed to exfiltration, encryption, and sabotage—even when their Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) or Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platforms detect an initial intrusion. 

Superna’s Cyber Storage Incident Response solution, integrated with CrowdStrike Falcon^® Next-Gen SIEM and CrowdStrike Falcon^® Fusion SOAR,  is designed to close that gap—bringing the power of real-time storage protection into the heart of incident response operations.

Why Traditional Incident Response Falls Short

Most IR strategies are built around devices, users, and networks. But attackers are after data—and traditional approaches often fail to protect it. 

Challenges include:

– Lack of Automated Data Protection – Many security tools detect incidents but cannot prevent real-time encryption or exfiltration. Remediation often requires manual, delayed action.

– Narrow Focus on Devices – Responses typically isolate compromised endpoints but ignore vulnerable storage systems.

– Limited Storage-Aware Recovery – IR teams lack tools to quickly analyze, recover, and restore at the storage layer.

– Over-Reliance on Backups – Backups can be a day—or more—behind. Recovery from backups guarantees data loss and delays business continuity.

Without real-time data protection, organizations risk prolonged downtime, financial damage, and the loss of sensitive data.

How Superna and CrowdStrike Elevate Cyber Storage Security 

Together, Superna and CrowdStrike deliver a unified, proactive defense strategy—one that extends automated incident response from endpoints to storage systems.

Superna’s Cyber Storage Incident Response solution enables IR teams to detect, isolate, and remediate threats across both endpoints and storage environments with speed and precision. 

When integrated with Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, IR teams gain a powerful extension from  EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) to include identity, cloud workloads, and beyond—protecting not just devices, but the critical data that drives business operations.

Key Features of the Superna + CrowdStrike Integration

Maturing the Incident Response Process

By embedding storage actions directly into Falcon Fusion SOAR playbooks, Superna streamlines incident workflows—automating offensive data protection.

Increasing Response Speed and Efficiency

When a threat is detected:

• Falcon Next-Gen SIEM triggers a Falcon Fusion SOAR playbook.
• Superna automatically locks out compromised users from SMB/NAS shares.
• Immutable storage snapshots are created instantly, preserving recovery points without manual intervention.

Real-Time Ransomware Defense

Superna and CrowdStrike work in tandem to:

• Instantly block attacker access to storage before encryption spreads.
• Trigger storage snapshots at the first sign of compromise.
• Analyze breach timelines through forensic scanning and root cause detection in Falcon Next-Gen SIEM.

Unified Threat Intelligence

Security teams gain complete visibility across endpoints and storage systems, with:

• Seamless event ingestion via Superna’s native integration with Falcon Next-Gen SIEM.
• Alerts and telemetry normalized into the CrowdStrike Parsing Standard (CPS).
• Key indicators—including user IPs, infected file lists, and historical activity—presented within a single operational console.

No additional dashboards. No extra manual steps. Just full-spectrum threat intelligence, exactly where it’s needed.

Real-World Applications of Superna + CrowdStrike

Phishing and Credential Theft

• Traditional Response: Disabling an AD account leaves Kerberos sessions active for hours, allowing continued access.
• Superna + CrowdStrike: Instantly revoke SMB/NAS access, terminating sessions and cutting off attackers in real time.

Employee Termination and Insider Threats

• Traditional Response: Disabled AD accounts can still delete or exfiltrate sensitive data.
• Superna + CrowdStrike: Immediate session termination and storage lockout prevent malicious deletions or leaks.

Ransomware Containment and Recovery

• Traditional Response: Recovery from encrypted backups delays operations and guarantees some data loss.
• Superna + CrowdStrike: Immutable snapshots enable near-instant file-level recovery, minimizing disruption and data loss.

Why This Integration Matters for Security Teams

By combining endpoint security with proactive, storage-aware incident response, Superna and CrowdStrike deliver a next-generation cybersecurity approach—one that shrinks dwell time, contains threats faster, and minimizes business risk. 

With real-time automation, storage threats are neutralized within seconds, and SOC teams gain unparalleled visibility into compromised users, infected files, SMB/NFS shares, and data recovery paths.
