CrowdStrike Alternative for Banks: BDDK, In-Country Telemetry and Continuity
CrowdStrike telemetry is processed in a foreign cloud. Compare CrowdStrike and Moftgate against BDDK rules for in-country systems, business continuity and logs.
Banks in Türkiye follow the BDDK Regulation on Banks’ Information Systems and Electronic Banking Services (Official Gazette, 15 March 2020). It requires primary and secondary systems to be kept in Türkiye. Cloud services and outsourcing follow separate rules. CrowdStrike Falcon sends telemetry to its own cloud for analysis. On 19 July 2024 a faulty Falcon content update crashed about 8.5 million Windows devices, according to Microsoft’s estimate. That event put the business continuity risk of endpoint agents on the audit agenda.

BDDK requirements: CrowdStrike Falcon and Moftgate
| Requirement | CrowdStrike Falcon | Moftgate |
|---|---|---|
| Systems kept in Türkiye | Telemetry and analysis happen in CrowdStrike’s cloud outside Türkiye. | Telemetry, analysis and logs stay in the bank’s data center. |
| Business continuity and update control | Uses a kernel-level driver. The July 2024 event showed the risk of this model. | The agent does not touch the kernel. The bank rolls out updates from its own server on its own schedule. |
| Threat detection | Offers strong EDR and threat intelligence. | Offers behavior analytics and threat detection. Its focus is data security. |
| Tamper-proof log retention | Event data is kept in the CrowdStrike cloud for a period that depends on the license. | Logs are kept on the bank’s server in WORM form with timestamps. |
