Strengths Recognized in the Frost Radar

We believe CrowdStrike's inclusion as a Leader in the 2025 Frost Radar validates our approach to cloud workload protection and growth momentum in the market. FCS provides a unified, AI-native approach to cloud security that enables organizations to maintain strong security posture, while defending against active attacks.

Frost & Sullivan highlights CrowdStrike's agent-based and agentless approach to cloud workload protection. This provides a breadth of coverage starting with extensive shift-left capabilities, such as policy enforcement in CI/CD workflows, all the way to runtime, where it provides visibility into process, file, and network activities. This approach enables customers to "uncover hidden threats, address vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, and respond to threats proactively."

The strength of Falcon Cloud Security is fueled by the broader CrowdStrike Falcon platform. Frost & Sullivan speaks to how Falcon Cloud Workload Protection is bolstered by the rest of the CrowdStrike ecosystem: "CrowdStrike's CWPP stands out for its seamless integration with its XDR and MDR services, providing end-to-end visibility and protection to prevent breaches across all layers, including cloud, endpoint, and identity," the report states.

The Falcon platform provides the visibility and scale organizations need to view and defend against adversary activity. Frost & Sullivan recognized CrowdStrike's strength in "correlating events across identities, workloads, and cloud control planes," a necessity for stopping cloud breaches as adversaries target hybrid environments. The single Falcon sensor can be deployed across hybrid cloud environments, enabling Falcon Cloud Workload Protection, a part of FCS, to rapidly stop breaches - a critical capability in the face of faster, more capable adversaries. The Falcon sensor is powered by intelligence from tracking 265+ adversaries and publishing an average of 2 million indicators of compromise each month.²

This creates a key advantage considering how cross-domain threats often generate fewer detections in any single domain, enabling stealth for adversaries. Falcon Cloud Workload Protection is able to leverage signals across hybrid cloud environments, as well as insights from "world-class MDR and threat hunting expertise," according to the Frost Radar report.

CrowdStrike: A Leader in Cloud Protection

CrowdStrike's leadership is built on a foundation of proven security excellence and our unwavering mission to stop breaches. By drawing from real-world attack scenarios and maintaining a cross-domain, adversary-focused approach, we've developed runtime protection capabilities that address the sophisticated tactics of today's threat actors.

Frost & Sullivan notes that CrowdStrike's growth in the market can be attributed to the "strong adoption of its cloud workload security module due to the excellent cloud runtime protection & TDR capabilities." This showcases that our approach of building a cloud security solution on the foundation of our strong security heritage is not only industry-leading, but will continue to drive CrowdStrike's growth in the cloud runtime protection market.

With our unified platform approach, extensive threat intelligence, and proven track record of stopping breaches, CrowdStrike continues to set the standard and help organizations confidently secure their cloud environments against today's most sophisticated threats.
