How to Automate CrowdStrike with Playwright

Automate critical CrowdStrike security workflows with Playwright when APIs aren’t available or sufficient. You’ll eliminate manual threat investigation and reduce incident response time by automating repetitive cybersecurity processes. Use Playwright to interact with CrowdStrike’s web interface programmatically. View CrowdStrike’s API documentation for integration services when available.

​
Setup

Install Playwright and configure authentication: 
npm install playwright

​
Automate Workflows

Create scripts for common CrowdStrike tasks: 
import { chromium } from 'playwright';

const browser = await chromium.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();

// Login to CrowdStrike Falcon
await page.goto('https://falcon.crowdstrike.com/');
await page.fill('[data-testid="username"]', process.env.CROWDSTRIKE_USERNAME);
await page.fill('[data-testid="password"]', process.env.CROWDSTRIKE_PASSWORD);
await page.click('[data-testid="login-button"]');

// Navigate to Incident Workbench
await page.click('[data-testid="nav-incident-workbench"]');
await page.click('[data-testid="view-all-incidents"]');

// Create new incident investigation
await page.click('[data-testid="create-incident"]');
await page.fill('[data-testid="incident-name"]', 'Suspicious Network Activity Investigation');
await page.selectOption('[data-testid="severity-level"]', 'Medium');
await page.fill('[data-testid="description"]', 'Unusual outbound traffic detected from workstation');

// Assign to security team
await page.click('[data-testid="assignee-dropdown"]');
await page.click('text=SOC Team Alpha');
await page.selectOption('[data-testid="priority"]', 'High');

// Add affected hosts
await page.click('[data-testid="add-hosts-tab"]');
await page.fill('[data-testid="hostname-search"]', 'DESKTOP-001');
await page.click('[data-testid="add-host"]');

// Generate investigation report
await page.click('[data-testid="generate-report"]');
await page.selectOption('[data-testid="report-format"]', 'PDF');
await page.click('[data-testid="download-report"]');

await browser.close();
Playwright handles threat detection workflows, incident management, and security reporting automatically. You can automate host isolation, malware analysis, and compliance reporting workflows.
