CrowdStrike named a Leader by Gartner
A Leader for the seventh consecutive time in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Endpoint Protection.
Secure the AI control point for the modern enterprise
A Leader for the seventh consecutive time
For the fourth year in a row, CrowdStrike is positioned furthest to the right for Completeness of Vision and highest for Ability to Execute. Built on a single lightweight agent and unified platform, CrowdStrike continues to drive innovation that helps organizations stop breaches across the modern attack surface.
Innovation for the AI era
CrowdStrike pioneered endpoint detection and response (EDR). As organizations adopt AI agents that execute actions across SaaS applications, browsers, and cloud environments, the endpoint has become the critical control point for modern security — where human intent meets AI execution. By advancing AI Detection and Response (AIDR) and enforcing Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP), CrowdStrike helps organizations securely adopt AI and stop breaches fast.
Securing agentic applications
As organizations adopt agentic AI applications, they face a new high-privilege attack surface capable of autonomous action with minimal human oversight. CrowdStrike delivers the runtime visibility, governance, and real-time protection needed to secure AI-driven activity across endpoints and identities, reduce AI-driven risk, prevent abuse of legitimate tools, and stop adversaries targeting the emerging AI attack surface.
A Customers’ Choice
Recognized by customers worldwide, CrowdStrike is the only vendor named a Customers’ Choice in the Gartner® Peer Insights™ Voice of the Customer for Endpoint Protection report every year since its inception. With 97% of customers willing to recommend the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform based on 800 overall responses as of November 2025, organizations continue to trust CrowdStrike to stop breaches and secure their businesses.
