CrowdStrike receives the highest position of
all vendors in the Strategy category; receives highest scores
possible in the Vision and Innovation criteria
CrowdStrike (Nasdaq: CRWD) today announced that it has been
named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Cloud Workload Security, Q1
2024. Of the 13 vendors evaluated based on cloud workload security
(CWS) capabilities, CrowdStrike ranked the highest in the Strategy
category and received the highest scores possible in the Vision and
Innovation criteria. With one of the largest and fastest growing
cloud security businesses in the industry, we believe this position
as a leader demonstrates why customers are increasingly
consolidating their cybersecurity stack on the AI-native
CrowdStrike Falcon® XDR platform and replacing existing cloud
security point products with CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security.
“Adversaries are aggressively targeting cloud environments.
Point security products with detection-only capabilities and
stitched-together platforms are not enough for modern cloud
security. Only CrowdStrike delivers visibility, remediation and
prevention in a unified platform to stop cloud breaches,” said Raj
Rajamani, head of products, CrowdStrike. “We pioneered cloud-native
cybersecurity and continue to deliver the innovation needed to
extend industry-leading protection across every area of the attack
surface. Cloud is the attack vector of choice for adversaries, and
we were purpose-built in the cloud to stop them.”
Stopping Cloud Breaches with CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud
Security
According to the CrowdStrike 2023 Global Threat Report, cloud
exploitation cases grew 95% over the past year, with adversaries
becoming even more focused and persistent. Stopping cloud breaches
requires a modern approach to protection that holistically
addresses cloud security risk.
CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security delivers the industry’s most
complete CNAPP solution on the market in a single, unified
platform. CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security protects the entire
cloud estate with integrated cloud workload protection (CWP), cloud
security posture management (CSPM), cloud identity entitlement
management (CIEM) and application security posture management
(ASPM), delivering complete visibility and protection from code to
cloud. This unified, platform approach is a leading reason why
organizations consolidate with CrowdStrike to replace immature
cloud security point products and why CrowdStrike has one of the
largest and fastest growing cloud security businesses in the
industry.
We believe that achieving the top score out of all 13 vendors in
the Strategy category, alongside the highest possible scores in the
Vision and Innovation criteria, further validates CrowdStrike’s
position as a leader in cloud security. In addition, the Forrester
report notes that CrowdStrike “shines in agentless CWP and
container runtime protection,” showing a “convincing CWS vision,”
and innovation, partner revenue and CDR capabilities that are
“ahead of the competition.” In reference to CrowdStrike Falcon
Cloud Security’s unified capabilities, the report states that
“CrowdStrike is a great fit for firms looking for agent-first,
behavioral-based threat detection that fits into an end-to-end CWS
platform.”
