Frost Radar™: Cloud Workload Protection Platforms, 2026

CrowdStrike named the strongest overall leader in Cloud Workload Protection Platforms

Frost & Sullivan positions CrowdStrike as the strongest overall leader in the Frost Radar™: Cloud Workload Protection Platforms, 2026. CrowdStrike Falcon® Cloud Security is the only CNAPP that combines real-time runtime telemetry, 24/7 intelligence from tracking named adversaries, and integrated SOC response to stop cloud attacks based on how attackers actually operate today.

The report recognizes Falcon Cloud Security for making workload protection an extension of the SOC with:

• Real-time cloud detection and response to stop active threats based on how fast attackers actually operate today
• Embedded adversary intelligence, with detection logic built from tracking named threat actors, so CrowdStrike recognizes real-world adversary behavior, not just patterns written for yesterday's techniques
• Correlated activity across cloud and the enterprise, eliminating manual triage to surface the full attack story in one place. Enrich every investigation with cloud telemetry, detections, and risk signals to close incidents before threats escalate
• Unified agent-based and agentless coverage so teams see what is exposed and what is actively being exploited, not just a long list of findings
