BLOG Featured Recent Video Category Start Free Trial Falcon Platform for Government Now Offers Falcon for XIoT to Secure Connected Assets CrowdStrike Falcon Platform for Government, our FedRAMP High authorized offering, now enables government agencies to identify, prioritize, and address risks across OT and IT environments. March 18, 2026 | Adina Schoeneman | Public Sector CrowdStrike Falcon Platform for Government, our FedRAMP High authorized offering, has expanded to include CrowdStrike Falcon® for XIoT. This addition delivers native XIoT visibility and protection through the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform so government agencies can protect connected assets and critical infrastructure. Federal agencies operate and oversee many of the nation’s most sensitive systems, including the connected IoT devices proliferating across critical infrastructure: power grid controls, building management systems, public health systems, and more. They must protect this growing attack surface as adversaries seek to disrupt operations, exfiltrate sensitive data, and undermine national security. Legacy security solutions primarily focus on conventional IT environments, leaving evolving mission-critical systems exposed. CrowdStrike delivers a FedRAMP High authorized platform built to address the challenges of securing IoT infrastructure. Falcon for XIoT provides unified visibility into OT and IT assets and helps security teams identify, prioritize, and address vulnerabilities, exposures, and high-risk asset conditions for essential connected devices. This milestone underscores our commitment to protecting the federal government’s most critical systems from modern threats. Falcon for XIoT for Federal Agencies and Government Institutions CrowdStrike Falcon Platform for Government now delivers FedRAMP High authorized OT and IT asset visibility and protection through Falcon for XIoT. Below, we examine the core capabilities strengthening protection for connected devices across critical environments. Native XIoT Asset Discovery on FedRAMP High Authorized Architecture Federal agencies must align with evolving frameworks such as Zero Trust architecture (ZTA), NIST guidelines, and executive orders focused on cybersecurity modernization. Securing IoT and OT assets requires an approach that respects operational continuity while delivering modern threat protection. By delivering native XIoT asset discovery on FedRAMP High authorized platform architecture, public sector organizations gain a trusted, scalable solution designed for federal and critical infrastructure environments. Falcon for XIoT’s asset profiling includes zero-touch visibility. With Falcon’s deep protocol support and ICS vendor validation, agencies can maintain asset safety and operational integrity across critical infrastructure environments. AI-Powered Risk Prioritization for XIoT Industrial control systems and other operational technologies powering critical infrastructure are often in use for decades. Patching, remediating, or replacing them may be critical for security but can also be operationally disruptive. Falcon for XIoT applies AI-powered analysis and XIoT-specific context to help agencies identify, prioritize, and address risk across converged IT and OT environments, focusing on exposures most likely to be exploited. Its risk prioritization is powered by ExPRT.AI, CrowdStrike’s AI-powered risk scoring, which goes beyond traditional CVSS scoring by evaluating exploitability, asset criticality, network exposure, and adversary context. With XIoT insights that surface high-risk conditions, including legacy assets, unsupported devices, and vulnerable hosts, agencies can prioritize mitigation and reduce exposure to modern adversaries. Proactive Detection and Response Downtime affecting critical infrastructure and public safety systems poses significant risk. Mission-critical environments require a solution that can provide immediate visibility into threats and adversaries. CrowdStrike’s industry-leading threat protection and services for XIoT assets extend continuous visibility, threat detection, and response across unmanaged and hard-to-secure devices without disrupting critical operations. Falcon for XIoT extends the Falcon platform’s comprehensive, AI-native endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities to XIoT assets. This helps detect lateral movement and support IT/OT boundary protection across converged attack surfaces. For agencies and institutions with limited XIoT security resources, CrowdStrike Falcon® Complete managed detection and response (MDR) analyzes and correlates XIoT telemetry to provide unified oversight, efficient prioritization, and expert protection tailored to XIoT environments and assets. This is delivered as an add-on to Falcon for XIoT. Unified XIoT Cybersecurity for the Public Sector As federal agencies face sophisticated threats across converged IT and OT environments, CrowdStrike delivers a FedRAMP High authorized platform that now addresses the unique security challenges of XIoT infrastructure. By combining native asset discovery, AI-powered risk analysis, industry-leading threat detection, and unified security across IT and OT environments, CrowdStrike helps agencies reduce the fragmentation and blind spots that plague traditional approaches. Falcon for XIoT unifies IT and OT environments to deliver the comprehensive protection federal agencies need today while establishing the foundation for securing the increasingly connected government systems of tomorrow.
