About this update from Crowdstrike Holdings, Inc.

Continuous, risk-aware identity security becomes the market standard as AI agents and non-human identities (NHIs) expose the limitations of fragmented, static access controls AUSTIN, Texas, July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost & Sullivan  is pleased to announce that CrowdStrike  has been named the 2026 Global Company of the Year in Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR). As AI agents transform how work gets done, operating with superhuman speed and access, this recognition validates CrowdStrike's leadership in advancing the market beyond static access controls with "a next-generation identity model that enables continuous and content-aware dynamic authorization across human, non-human, and AI agent identities." "Identity is the front line of modern attacks and AI is accelerating the threat at scale," said Elia Zaitsev, chief technology officer at CrowdStrike. "AI agents operate as high-privilege identities with access to critical data, applications, compute resources, and other agents, exposing the risk of legacy access models built on static policies and standing privileges." Frost & Sullivan's research has found that CrowdStrike eliminates standing privileges and enforces real-time, risk-based access that can be dynamically revoked as conditions change, establishing Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security as the identity security control plane for the agentic enterprise." Identity Security for the Agentic Enterprise The Falcon® Next-Gen Identity Security  business surpassed $520 million in ending ARR, growing more than 34% year-over-year.[1] CrowdStrike's ability to secure both human and agentic identities makes Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security the standard for identity security in the agentic enterprise. Frost & Sullivan stated, "CrowdStrike's unified, cloud native platform that delivers end-to-end identity visibility, just in time privileges, behavioral analytics, and automated response across human and non-human identities enables a significant competitive advantage." Key findings from the Frost & Sullivan report include: Securing SaaS and AI Agents Frost & Sullivan recognized how CrowdStrike delivers "real time visibility into AI and SaaS agents, including their permissions, data access, and activity, and can monitor how these identities interact with sensitive systems and datasets over time." Zero Standing Privileges Frost & Sullivan highlighted that "unlike traditional role assignments or vaulting, Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security treats every user as potentially privileged, granting only need-based, real-time behavior and context aware access."
