CrowdStrike Named a Leader in Managed Detection and Response by Independent Research Firm

AUSTIN, Texas – February 27, 2025 – CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) announced it has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Managed Detection and Response Services, Q1 2025.

Today’s dynamic threat landscape is creating unprecedented challenges for security teams already strained by the growing cybersecurity skills gap and rising costs and complexity of managing numerous disjointed tools. CrowdStrike Falcon® Complete Next-Gen MDR is a force multiplier to internal teams, optimizing security spend and streamlining operations with industry-leading MDR that combines elite security expertise, the power of the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon® cybersecurity platform, and Falcon Flex, CrowdStrike’s flexible licensing model allowing customers to use what they need, when they need it.

​​Modern adversaries are relentless, fast and increasingly stealthy—leveraging trusted identities, cloud misconfigurations and supply chain vulnerabilities to infiltrate organizations undetected. To combat this, security teams need cross-domain detection, intelligence-driven threat hunting, and the ability to rapidly respond. CrowdStrike’s vendor profile in the report states, “CrowdStrike stands out in its ability to detect across endpoint, extended, and identity detection surfaces,” and continues, “CrowdStrike via Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR knows how to detect, investigate, and find adversaries well before those adversaries want to be discovered.”

Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR dramatically improves security team efficiency by accelerating the detection, investigation and response to advanced threats across endpoints, cloud, identity and third-party data sources. Charlotte AI Detection Triage, CrowdStrike’s breakthrough agentic AI-powered innovation that triages security decisions with over 98% accuracy while eliminating more than 40 hours of manual work per week on average, is trained on millions of real-world triage decisions from Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR analysts. This elite cyber expertise, combined with AI-native platform technology protecting every critical area of enterprise risk, delivers world class 24/7 MDR.
