CrowdStrike Named Frost & Sullivan\u2019s Company of the Year for Modern Cloud Security<\/b><\/p>\n

Leadership across Cloud Workload Security and SaaS Security Posture Management establishes CrowdStrike as the standard for cloud runtime security<\/i><\/p>\n

AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–CrowdStrike<\/a> (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it has been named Frost & Sullivan\u2019s 2026 Company of the Year for Cloud Workload Security (CWS) <\/a>and the 2025 Company of the Year for Global SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM)<\/a> for the second consecutive time. Together, these recognitions validate CrowdStrike\u2019s leadership in cloud runtime security across cloud workloads, SaaS environments, and AI through a single, unified platform.<\/p>\n

\nAs AI accelerates cloud adoption, the cloud attack surface is expanding faster than traditional security models can keep pace. AI workloads and AI-powered SaaS applications increase the need for active protection delivered at runtime. This shift is driving security teams to consolidate away from fragmented, posture-only cloud security tools toward unified, runtime-based platforms. Frost & Sullivan\u2019s recognition reflects CrowdStrike\u2019s ability to secure this expanding cloud attack surface through a unified, runtime security model.<\/p>\n

\nFrost & Sullivan stated, \u201cBy combining runtime defense, code-to-cloud visibility, and SOC-grade detection and response, CrowdStrike provides a level of protection and operational efficiency that clearly outperforms fragmented or posture-only cloud security offerings.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

\nKey findings from the Frost & Sullivan reports include:<\/p>\n

Defining the Standard for Cloud Runtime Security<\/b><\/p>\n

\nFrost & Sullivan recognized CrowdStrike for delivering a unified, runtime-powered cloud security platform that reduces operational complexity while providing deep visibility, real-time threat prevention, and scalable protection across modern multi-cloud and hybrid environments. The reports validate runtime protection as essential for stopping cloud breaches.<\/p>\n

Securing the Cloud for the AI Era<\/b><\/p>\n

\nFrost & Sullivan recognized CrowdStrike for extending cloud runtime protection to secure AI workloads and SaaS environments as AI rapidly expands the cloud attack surface. The reports underscore CrowdStrike\u2019s ability to protect AI infrastructure, detect and govern AI-driven risk, and deliver the unified visibility and runtime defense required for organizations to adopt AI securely at scale.<\/p>\n

Leadership in SaaS Security Posture Management<\/b><\/p>\n

\nFrost & Sullivan highlighted CrowdStrike\u2019s leadership in the global SSPM market, recognizing its ability to deliver continuous, intelligence-led SaaS security. By correlating SaaS findings with endpoint and identity telemetry, CrowdStrike\u2019s unified approach exposes and stops risk that most traditional posture-only SSPM solutions miss, reinforcing SaaS as a critical part of the modern cloud attack surface.<\/p>\n

Falcon\u00ae Cloud Security<\/a> delivers industry-leading pre-runtime and runtime protection across the cloud workload lifecycle. As part of the unified Falcon\u00ae platform<\/a>, CrowdStrike integrates cloud, endpoint, identity, and data protection to provide the end-to-end visibility and automated defense required to stop breaches across modern hybrid environments and rapidly expanding AI workloads. Falcon\u00ae Shield<\/a> extends this approach to SaaS environments, delivering real-time protection across human, non-human, and AI agent identities, applications, and data.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe cloud remains a primary battleground as adversaries exploit the blind spots created by fragmented security approaches,\u201d said Elia Zaitsev, chief technology officer at CrowdStrike. \u201cThese Company of the Year recognitions reinforce CrowdStrike\u2019s leadership as organizations consolidate on the Falcon platform to reduce complexity and secure cloud workloads, SaaS environments, and AI at scale.\u201d<\/p>\n
