CrowdStrike Named a Leader in Attack Surface Management by Independent Research Firm

AUSTIN, Texas – September 24, 2024 – CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Attack Surface Management Solutions, Q3 2024. CrowdStrike ranked highest of any vendor evaluated in the Current Offering category and received the highest possible score in the Market Presence category.

CrowdStrike believes this position as a Leader demonstrates why customers are consolidating their cybersecurity stack on the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon® cybersecurity platform, replacing fragmented point vulnerability management tools with the integrated platform approach of CrowdStrike Falcon® Exposure Management.

CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management delivers comprehensive visibility and AI-driven vulnerability prioritization across endpoints, networks and cloud environments, empowering organizations to proactively reduce risk and automate responses – and driving a 98% reduction in critical vulnerabilities. The Forrester report states that CrowdStrike “showcases exemplary approaches to innovation” through new features such as ITOps and GenAI enhancements, and “a superb analyst experience.”

Built on ExPRT.AI, CrowdStrike’s patented technology for risk-based vulnerability prioritization, CrowdStrike’s latest innovations include Network Vulnerability Assessment for continuous sensor-based scanning, and Attack Path Analysis to identify cross-domain exposures and attack paths to critical assets, enabling security teams to predict likely adversary behavior based on real-world activity and harden high-risk areas of exposure.

As organizations operate increasingly complex IT environments, understanding and managing risk across every attack path is critical – stopping breaches starts with proactive security. To me, being recognized by Forrester as a Leader in attack surface management highlights the Falcon platform’s ability to consolidate the disjointed tools and data sources security teams must navigate to address this challenge. By taking an adversary approach based on real-world behavior, and consolidating on an integrated, AI-native platform, CrowdStrike is providing a more effective way for organizations to identify their most critical vulnerabilities everywhere – and stop breaches.

"A solid fit for customers looking to consolidate proactive security signals into a singular SecOps platform."

With elite threat intelligence and the industry-leading CrowdStrike Falcon® platform, CrowdStrike Falcon® Exposure Management helps customers proactively reduce intrusion risk with unified, AI-powered vulnerability prioritization and complete attack surface visibility.
