Dope.security has announced a new integration with CrowdStrike, allowing security telemetry from its Secure Web Gateway (SWG) platform to be ingested into CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Generation Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). This partnership enables engineers and operators to view and analyze web security data from dope.swg directly alongside endpoint and third-party security signals in Falcon, potentially streamlining threat detection and response across data center environments.
Unlike traditional SWGs, which route traffic through intermediate data centers, dope.swg performs security inspections directly on the endpoint. This approach is designed to minimize latency and avoid backhauling traffic, while feeding security events—such as HTTP/S transactions, content inspections, and malware alerts—into Falcon Next-Gen SIEM for richer threat analysis.
The integration offers several technical capabilities for data center security teams:
- Ingestion of web security telemetry from dope.swg—covering HTTP/S traffic and malware alerts—into Falcon Next-Gen SIEM.
- Unified threat investigation, enabling correlation of web events and CrowdStrike endpoint telemetry within a single interface.
- Automated onboarding of dope.security and third-party data via Falcon Data Connectors, supporting end-to-end visibility.
- Workflow automation to prioritize alerts by correlating web and endpoint threats, helping reduce mean time to incident response.
This integration is available through the CrowdStrike Marketplace. According to dope.security, the solution targets organizations needing consolidated web and endpoint security monitoring, including hyperscale operators and colocation service providers.
“Integrating security software with SWGs used to be a Frankenstein – endpoint controls were on-the-device, while the SWG required re-routing all of the internet to a stopover datacenter,” said Kunal Agarwal, Founder and CEO of dope.security. “Now, Dope’s fly-direct architecture operates side-by-side on the device and feeds web security telemetry into Falcon Next-Gen SIEM without the performance headaches of legacy SWGs.”
