About this update from Crowdstrike Holdings, Inc.

[{"type":"text","content":" AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nCrowdStrike (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.\n\n\nAdversaries 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.\n\n\nThe IDC MarketScape noted, “CrowdStrike Falcon provides proactive unified cloud security posture management (USPM) that leverages threat intelligence, end-to-end attack paths, and ExPRT.AI 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.”\n\n\n“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.”\n\n\nStrengths noted by the IDC MarketScape for CrowdStrike:\n\n\n\n“Customers appreciate that CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security supports a shift-left strategy, enabling more effective organiz...
