Cyber security technology giant CrowdStrike has been named a leader in cloud workload security in The Forrester Wave™: Cloud Workload Security, Q1 2024.
CrowdStrike was awarded the top spot out of 13 vendors, ranking highest in the strategy category and receiving full marks for vision and innovation.
“We believe that achieving the top score out of all 13 vendors in the strategy category, alongside the highest possible scores in the vision and innovation criteria, further validates CrowdStrike’s position as a leader in cloud security,” said the company.
“In addition, the Forrester report notes that CrowdStrike ‘shines in agentless CWP and container runtime protection’, showing a ‘convincing CWS vision’, and innovation, partner revenue and CDR capabilities that are ‘ahead of the competition’.
“In reference to Falcon Cloud Security’s unified capabilities, the report states that ‘CrowdStrike is a great fit for firms looking for agent-first, behavioural-based threat detection that fits into an end-to-end CWS platform’.”
The company attributed its high ranking to its dedication to cloud security and said that this is symbolised by the increased adoption of its products.
CrowdStrike said that it is one of the fastest-growing and largest cloud security businesses in the industry, and an increasing number of customers are replacing their existing cloud security point products with CrowdStrike Falcon® Cloud Security and consolidating their cyber security stacks on the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon® XDR platform.
CrowdStrike’s dedication to world-class cloud security comes as cloud exploitation reaches a major high, with the company saying it increased 95 per cent over the last year.
“Adversaries are aggressively targeting cloud environments. Point security products with detection-only capabilities and stitched-together platforms are not enough for modern cloud security. Only CrowdStrike delivers visibility, remediation, and prevention in a unified platform to stop cloud breaches,” said CrowdStrike head of products Raj Rajamani.
“We pioneered cloud-native cyber security and continue to deliver the innovation needed to extend industry-leading protection across every area of the attack surface. Cloud is the attack vector of choice for adversaries, and we were purpose-built in the cloud to stop them.”
