CrowdStrike Leads in Strategy, Achieves Top Scores for Vision and Innovation
CrowdStrike is recognized as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Cloud Workload Security, Q1 2024. Out of 13 vendors assessed for cloud workload security (CWS), CrowdStrike achieved the top rank in the Strategy category and garnered perfect scores in the Vision and Innovation criteria. With a rapidly expanding cloud security business, this leadership position underscores the trend of customers consolidating their cybersecurity stack on the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon® XDR platform and opting for CrowdStrike Falcon® Cloud Security over existing cloud security point products.
“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 Raj Rajamani, head of products, CrowdStrike.”

Stopping Cloud Breaches with Falcon Cloud Security
According to the CrowdStrike 2023 Global Threat Report, cloud exploitation cases grew 95% over the past year, with adversaries becoming even more focused and persistent. Stopping cloud breaches requires a modern approach to protection that holistically addresses cloud security risk.
Falcon Cloud Security delivers the industry’s most complete CNAPP solution on the market in a single, unified platform. Falcon Cloud Security protects the entire cloud estate with integrated cloud workload protection (CWP), cloud security posture management (CSPM), cloud identity entitlement management (CIEM) and application security posture management (ASPM), delivering complete visibility and protection from code to cloud. This unified, platform approach is a leading reason why organizations consolidate with CrowdStrike to replace immature cloud security point products and why CrowdStrike has one of the largest and fastest growing cloud security businesses in the industry.
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. 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, behavioral-based threat detection that fits into an end-to-end CWS platform.”
