We’re proud to announce that CrowdStrike has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform 2025 Vendor Assessment (doc, June 2025). This recognition marks another milestone for CrowdStrike as cloud security becomes central to stopping modern cyber threats across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

As the attack surface expands and the number of vulnerabilities grows, organizations face a new crisis: how to prioritize which vulnerabilities to fix first based on their level of risk. CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management addresses this challenge with new AI-powered capabilities to help defenders identify what matters most and take action with precision. New innovations include AI-powered Asset Criticality, Client-Side Attack Path Analysis, and a CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM integration.

Microsoft introduced AMSI (Antimalware Scan Interface) with Windows 10 in 2015. This interface standard allows third-party security products to be integrated with applications running on a Windows PC to improve detections for fileless and script-based attacks. Naturally, adversaries immediately began efforts to defeat AMSI.

Cloud is the new battleground, and more adversaries are joining the fight: New and unattributed cloud intrusions were up 26% in 2024, according to the CrowdStrike 2025 Global Threat Report. As adversaries accelerate cloud attacks, CrowdStrike delivers full-cycle agentic AI — from detection triage to threat response — giving defenders the edge to act at machine speed before adversaries can break through.

The increasing deployment of large language models (LLMs) in enterprise environments has created a pressing need for effective security testing methods. Traditional approaches, relying heavily on predefined templates, are limited in comparison to adaptive attacks — particularly those related to prompt injection attacks. This limitation becomes especially critical in high-performance computing environments where LLMs process thousands of requests per second.

Internet-facing assets are targeted for many reasons, such as to establish persistence, evade defensive capabilities, and access sensitive networks. According to the search engine Shodan, approximately 1,600 VMware vSphere instances are directly accessible via the internet, representing a significant attack surface.

CrowdStrike has been named a Customers’ Choice in the 2025 Gartner Peer Insights “Voice of the Customer for User Authentication” report. We have the most five-star ratings of any vendor evaluated in the report and a 97% Willingness to Recommend rating, based on 206 overall responses as of February 28, 2025.

How do you stop identity-based attacks in real time — across both human and non-human identities? CrowdStrike Falcon Identity Protection now delivers powerful new capabilities to answer that question. The innovations announced today address urgent challenges facing security teams: unprotected non-human identities (NHIs) such as service accounts, insider risk during employee offboarding, and standing privileges in hybrid Microsoft environments.

In cybersecurity, understanding an adversary’s identity, capabilities, and intent is critical to intelligent cyber defense. Attribution matters. Despite cyber threat intelligence tracking a multitude of threat actors for many decades, accurately attributing malicious activity continues to be difficult. Vendors and researchers often see different parts of the same puzzle — or entirely different puzzles — due to differences in telemetry.

CrowdStrike has been named an innovation and growth Leader in the inaugural 2025 Frost Radar: Cloud and Application Runtime Security (CARS), positioned highest on the Innovation Index among all vendors evaluated. This marks another milestone in our mission to stop breaches with the industry's most unified and comprehensive cloud runtime protection.
