"How to perform a CrowdStrike Falcon audit” at my organization is probably one of the main questions many IT agents and administrators are trying to answer at the present moment.
As the harmful consequences of the failed software update by the cybersecurity company CrowdStrike continue to pile up globally, it is essential for IT organizations to have the proper tools to help them succeed and remain organized. In this post, we will not expand on what caused the failure nor delve into the repercussions it continues to have.

CrowdStrike Falcon Audit
The first thing you need to know is that CrowdStrike has provided a workaround involving the deletion of a specific file in Safe Mode or the Windows Recovery Environment to resolve the issue.
But first, we need to know the devices that are currently running Windows operating systems and, therefore, how many we have to pay attention to. So, what this audit is going to do is provide you with an overview of all your Windows devices.
Then, you should be able to spot the Falcon Sensor in each device, aka, the agent that is causing the problem and the Blue Screen of Death on Windows (BSOD).
How to do a CrowdStrike audit: Step by step
- Go to InvGate Asset Management.
- Click the Software tab.
- Click Filters and then click Select an Option.
- Enter the command “Software name” in Software Installations.
- Change the tab to Contains and enter the word “Falcon”.
