CrowdStrike and Zscaler have announced a new integration between Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security and Zscaler’s Adaptive Access Engine (AAE) to automate risk-based access control. Leveraging a Continuous Identity approach, the platform evaluates risk signals across identity, endpoint, and cloud domains to share context in real-time. This integration utilizes open standards such as the Shared Signals Framework (SSF) and Continuous Access Evaluation Profile (CAEP) to dynamically adjust access policies.
The system is designed to stop lateral movement by automatically restricting access to sensitive resources, such as code repositories, the moment high-risk activity is detected. Once an incident is resolved and the risk score decreases, access is automatically restored without manual intervention. This collaborative defense reduces the window of opportunity for adversaries and simplifies complex security operations through seamless interoperability between AI-native cybersecurity and Zero Trust architectures.
