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.

The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) are two essential and well-known regulations designed to protect user data. However, despite the similarities, there are major differences between them. To help you gain more clarity on GDPR vs CCPA, we will explain the similarities and differences, so you can understand more about how both can help you manage your data. Table of contents.

As a security leader, you face an inevitable daily reality: a flood of alerts pouring in from dozens of different tools. Risky sign-ins are flagged in Microsoft 365, weak passwords are pinged from a vault audit, and a separate report identifies which employees failed the latest phishing simulation. While all this information is valuable, most leaders are unable to connect these separate data points to paint a clear, cohesive picture of an individual user’s overall risk.

Cybersecurity researchers uncovered what is being called the "mother of all breaches," a colossal dataset containing 16 billion login credentials, including user passwords for Google, Facebook, and Apple. To put that figure in context, the cache represents twice the current human population of the Earth. This event was not the result of a single breach, but likely a compilation of data stolen from multiple breaches over many years.

In the world of cybersecurity, this statement couldn’t be more relevant. Trust is the invisible thread that binds a company to its customers, partners, investors, and even its employees. It’s what gives users the confidence to share their personal data, stakeholders the faith to invest, and teams the motivation to innovate. But trust is fragile, especially in a digital age where one breach can unravel years of credibility in a matter of minutes.

The risks associated with privileged accounts have significantly escalated recently. According to the 2025 Cost of Insider Risks Report by Ponemon Institute, insiders who fall victim to credential theft now represent the most expensive risk, with an average per-incident cost surging to $779,797 — up from $679,621 in 2023. When stolen credentials belong to privileged accounts, the potential damage is even greater.

Let’s be honest: Chasing after the so-called ‘best-of-breed’ cybersecurity solutions might seem smart, but it often sets you up for operational headaches. It’s tempting—especially given the persuasive pitches from top-tier vendors—to select the best individual products for each security function.

Cyberattacks on public infrastructure are no longer hypothetical. From ransomware disabling city services to foreign actors probing utility networks, the risks are real and rising. Among the most vulnerable targets are our public water systems. Often underfunded, technologically fragmented, and encumbered by legacy systems, water utilities are easy pickings for determined attackers.

Today, we’re announcing a way to build and deploy agents in Tines through our AI Agent action. In the AI market, AI agents suddenly seem to be everywhere – software that can autonomously think and perform tasks on behalf of the user. But we’re still very early in the adoption curve of agents. One thing we’ve noticed is that most solutions can’t handle the varying complexities of mission-critical workflows.
