CrowdStrike Named a Leader in the 2025 IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP)
AUSTIN, Texas, June 25, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform 2025 Vendor Assessment1. We believe this recognition underscores CrowdStrike's innovation and leadership in securing modern hybrid environments, as the only CNAPP delivering unified, real-time protection across cloud, identity, and endpoint. Adversaries increasingly exploit the complexity of hybrid environments and the sprawl of siloed cloud security tools. As a result, security teams are overwhelmed with false alerts and lack the visibility and context needed to stop attacks that span cloud, identity, and endpoint. CrowdStrike Falcon® Cloud Security, delivered as a native part of the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform, unifies proactive security and cloud runtime protection, delivering code-to-cloud visibility, AI-driven risk prioritization, and real-time detection and response to stop breaches. The IDC MarketScape noted, "CrowdStrike Falcon provides proactive unified cloud security posture management (USPM) that leverages threat intelligence, end-to-end attack paths, and to reduce alert noise and attack surface." The excerpt also noted, "Falcon delivers reactive security in forms of cloud workload protection (CWP) and cloud detection and response, enhanced by threat intelligence, allowing SOC teams to detect and respond to active threats across hybrid clouds, stopping adversary activity." "Modern cloud adversaries don't stay in one lane – they move fluidly across cloud, identity, and endpoint to evade detection and achieve their objectives," said Elia Zaitsev, chief technology officer at CrowdStrike. "Too many tools marketed as CNAPPs stop at posture, offering static risk visibility without the ability to detect or respond to active threats. Falcon Cloud Security was built from day one to deliver real-time detection, runtime protection, and cross-domain correlation in a single platform. We believe the IDC MarketScape's recognition validates that architecture – one designed to meet the speed, scale, and complexity of today's cloud attacks." Strengths noted by the IDC MarketScape for CrowdStrike: "Customers appreciate that CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security supports a shift-left strategy, enabling more effective organization of information. This allows relevant parties to promptly address vulnerabilities or misconfigurations as they arise." "Customers noted the ease of use and the Falcon console serving as their single pane of glass. They found the unified view a significant advantage of Falcon Cloud Security, allowing them to monitor security anomalies and manage continuous monitoring seamlessly." "CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security's maturity/assessment model enables customers to validate their security posture using health check data and benchmarked KPIs, such as cloud asset coverage, license usage, misconfigurations, runtime sensor versions, registered accounts, account status, credentials, and assessed/unassessed images to understand their maturity compared with peers." This recognition adds to CrowdStrike's momentum as the industry standard for unified cloud security, following top placements in the 2025 Frost Radar™ for Cloud and Application Runtime Security, the GigaOm Radar for CNAPP (2024), and the Frost Radar™ for CNAPP (2024) for the third consecutive year.

CrowdStrike Named a Frost Radar™ Leader in Cloud and Application Runtime Security
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it has been named an innovation and growth Leader in the inaugural 2025 Frost Radar™: Cloud and Application Runtime Security, scoring highest of all vendors on the Innovation Index. Frost & Sullivan recognized CrowdStrike as the only CNAPP delivering unified, real-time protection across cloud, identity and endpoint – a core requirement for stopping cloud breaches as adversaries increasingly target modern hybrid environments. CrowdStrike pioneered Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) and continues to innovate to secure hybrid cloud environments and counter the speed and complexity of today's adversaries. As attackers evolve tradecraft and chain attacks across cloud workloads, applications and identities, CrowdStrike has advanced cloud security with application runtime protection and real-time threat correlation – delivered through a single, unified platform. Frost & Sullivan notes this approach has driven 'tremendous' growth, recognizing CrowdStrike as 'one of the fastest-growing players in the CNAPP market.' Frost & Sullivan highlights CrowdStrike's leading approach to securing the cloud: 'CrowdStrike delivers CDR by correlating runtime activity with cloud context to expose active attacks as they unfold, enabling SOC teams to stop the breaches. Combined with AI-driven anomaly detection, trained on an abundance of data from in-house threat intelligence and customer environments, its CDR helps identify subtle signs of attacker behavior early.' Key report findings include: Pioneering Cloud Detection and Response: CrowdStrike was named as a ' pioneer in CDR,' building on its CWPP leadership to deliver real-time visibility and rapid threat detection, with ' excellent runtime capabilities.' End-to-End Protection from Code to Runtime: Frost & Sullivan recognized Falcon® Cloud Security as ' an integrated suite of key security functions' that delivers 'enhanced visibility, vulnerability management, pre-runtime and runtime protection ' across multi-cloud environments. By fusing telemetry from Falcon® ASPM with runtime signals, organizations can detect risk earlier and automate response across the application lifecycle. Cross-Domain Visibility and Real-Time Correlation: The Falcon platform enables security teams to correlate cloud, identity and endpoint signals in real time, enriched with threat intelligence and 24/7 managed detection – helping SOC teams understand and stop the full adversary attack path. Adversary-Driven Defense: Frost & Sullivan highlights how ' adversary-based threat intelligence, advanced behavior analytics and AI/ML,' enable Falcon Cloud Security to detect sophisticated threats like fileless and non-malware attacks before impact. Unified Agent and Agentless Response: The report noted that ' by using the same agent for the entire platform, Falcon Cloud Security can protect servers and monitor container runtime behavior and cloud workload activity,' while ' agentless scanning for cloud configurations enables real-time response across both hybrid cloud environments and all layers of the cloud stack.' As a native part of the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform, Falcon Cloud Security provides real-time protection across cloud, identity and endpoints through a unified platform. Built on the same lightweight agent that powers CrowdStrike XDR, Falcon Cloud Security combines AI-driven detection, advanced runtime protection and 24/7 managed CDR to protect the entire cloud estate – from infrastructure and workloads, to applications, SaaS, identities, AI models and data. 'Without runtime protection, you can't stop breaches in the cloud,' said Elia Zaitsev, chief technology officer, CrowdStrike. 'Adversaries aren't confined to one domain – they move across clouds, identities and endpoints in seconds. CrowdStrike closes those gaps with a unified platform built for real-time detection and response. This recognition from Frost & Sullivan validates our approach: securing the full cloud lifecycle, from build time to runtime, with the speed and precision today's SOC teams demand.'

CrowdStrike launches unified data protection for AI & cloud
CrowdStrike has introduced a collection of new capabilities aimed at providing real-time data protection across cloud infrastructures, AI models, endpoints, and SaaS applications. The set of products and features includes Falcon Cloud Security AI Model Scanning and AI Security Dashboard, Falcon Data Protection for Cloud and Endpoint, and a new range of SaaS Threat Services. These are designed to address the evolving methods by which adversaries target and extract sensitive information. One of the key advances highlighted by CrowdStrike is Falcon Cloud Security's ability to inspect AI models for malware, backdoors, and other alterations before they are deployed in production environments. Security teams will receive real-time visibility into all AI workloads within the cloud, supporting proactive risk management in an area seeing rapid growth and increasing interest from threat actors. The Falcon Data Protection for Cloud and Endpoint feature seeks to address security gaps by offering runtime data protection for both cloud and endpoint environments. This enables organisations to prevent the exfiltration of encrypted files and mitigates risks related to generative AI–led data leaks as they occur, according to the firm. CrowdStrike also announced SaaS Threat Services that include expert-led assessments and proactive threat detection and response, with the goal of helping organisations identify and mitigate risks stemming from SaaS application misuse or misconfiguration. These services have been designed in response to the growing prevalence of cloud-based attacks which target user identities and enterprise data. Recent cyber incidents have illustrated an adversarial shift from causing disruption to systematically stealing data, typically through exploitation of misconfigured systems and legitimate user credentials. CrowdStrike points to groups such as SCATTERED SPIDER and FAMOUS CHOLLIMA who have used compromised SSO accounts or insider access to extract internal documents, credentials, and intellectual property for extortion or further attack. As generative AI solutions are adopted more widely without adequate security controls, new points of exposure for sensitive data emerge within organisations. "In today's threat landscape, your data isn't just an asset – it's the primary target," said Elia Zaitsev, Chief Technology Officer at CrowdStrike. "Legacy data protection approaches fail because they're fragmented across environments, blind to encrypted exfiltration and incapable of stopping threats in real time. Today, businesses must also contend with employees inadvertently leaking sensitive data to unapproved or misused GenAI tools, adding new layers of risk. With Falcon Data Protection, we are the next chapter of data protection: unified visibility and control across your entire data ecosystem with the real-time protection needed to stop data theft before it happens." The Falcon Data Protection platform is promoted as a way to forgo a patchwork approach that often requires separate endpoint, cloud, and SaaS security solutions. Instead, it delivers comprehensive data protection from a single platform. Among the features are runtime data protection for cloud data at rest and in transit, which uses eBPF technology to identify and prevent unauthorised data movement in real-time across multi-cloud and on-premises environments. The Endpoint – Encryption Detection capability is intended to identify and block unauthorised attempts to archive and exfiltrate sensitive data within encrypted files, including 7zip formats, ahead of their encryption and movement. This, CrowdStrike asserts, helps prevent data theft regardless of the method used by attackers. For generative AI applications, Falcon Data Protection includes GenAI Data Leak Prevention, which applies proprietary Similarity Detection DNA technology. This approach detects sensitive material even if altered or disguised for input into GenAI tools. Enforcement policies can be tailored by content type and data sensitivity label, restricting the flow of sensitive data into both authorised and unauthorised GenAI platforms. Additional enhancements extend protection to macOS environments, aiming for consistent oversight and controls across varied device deployments. Just-in-Time Privileged Access and Identity-Based Threat Detection provide dynamic and situational access controls, as well as integration with broader threat intelligence, to address insider threats and external actors that exploit identity weaknesses. With identity-based attacks and SaaS vulnerabilities increasingly exploited for malicious gain, SaaS Threat Services cover incident response, risk assessments, and tailored guidance to shore up organisational defences for both on-premises and cloud-based data assets.
