CrowdStrike Named a Leader in 2025 IDC MarketScape for CNAPP

IDC MarketScape vendor analysis model is designed to provide an overview of the competitive fitness of technology and suppliers in a given market. The research methodology utilizes a rigorous scoring methodology based on both qualitative and quantitative criteria that results in a single graphical illustration of each supplier’s position within a given market. The Capabilities score measures supplier product, go-to-market and business execution in the short-term. The Strategy score measures alignment of supplier strategies with customer requirements in a 3-5-year timeframe. Supplier market share is represented by the size of the icons.

Strengths Recognized in the IDC MarketScape

We believe CrowdStrike’s inclusion as a Leader in the 2025 IDC MarketScape affirms our growing impact in the CNAPP market. Falcon Cloud Security provides a unified, AI-native approach to cloud security that delivers both proactive posture management and real-time protection at runtime.

According to the IDC MarketScape:

“CrowdStrike Falcon provides proactive unified cloud security posture management (USPM) that leverages threat intelligence, end-to-end attack paths, and ExPRT.AI to reduce alert noise and attack surface.”

This comprehensive protection is critical in stopping adversaries that bypass siloed defenses to move across identity, endpoint, and cloud.

The IDC MarketScape notes, “The company’s go-to-market strategy emphasizes a deep engagement with developers.” The report also noted, “Customers appreciate that CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security supports a shift-left strategy, enabling more effective organization of information. This allows relevant parties to promptly address vulnerabilities or misconfigurations as they arise.”

Hybrid cloud protection is another strength of Falcon Cloud Security. As a native part of the Falcon platform, Falcon Cloud Security delivers unified protection across cloud and on-prem environments through real-time data sharing and threat correlation.

Falcon Cloud Security’s maturity and assessment model also gives organizations actionable insights into their security posture, with benchmarked KPIs like cloud asset coverage, misconfiguration rates, and credential health. All of these capabilities help teams compare their maturity against peers and drive continuous improvement.
