Envisioning the Future of Endpoint Protection
Gartner has positioned CrowdStrike furthest right in Completeness of Vision for the sixth consecutive time. We believe this placement reflects our bold vision for the future of endpoint security and our ongoing innovation to help our customers stay ahead of today’s adversaries.
Adversaries are leveraging AI to conduct attacks with greater speed, stealth, and precision. To stop modern threats, organizations require AI-driven security that acts as a force multiplier by delivering automation, faster decisions, and real outcomes that reduce risk and stop breaches. As the threat landscape grows more sophisticated and security teams are under pressure to do more with less, CrowdStrike is innovating at scale and delivering real AI outcomes.
CrowdStrike is the pioneer of AI-native endpoint security. Our focus on innovation and our mission to stop breaches are at the core of everything we do. The CrowdStrike Falcon® platform continues to redefine endpoint protection for the modern era and deliver industry-leading prevention, detection, and response.
Cybersecurity Innovation for the AI Era
Gartner has also positioned CrowdStrike as highest in Ability to Execute, which we believe recognizes the power of the Falcon platform and our commitment to endpoint protection innovation. CrowdStrike continues to strengthen and evolve our endpoint and platform capabilities to keep customers ahead of evolving threats and transform security operations.
At the heart of our innovation is agentic AI, a new class of cybersecurity automation that powers faster and more effective detection and response. Charlotte AI Agentic Detection Triage and Charlotte AI Agentic Response and Agentic Workflows transcend “ask-and-respond” co-pilots to deliver autonomous reasoning and critical actions without human prompts. CrowdStrike also recently unveiled File System Containment for endpoint, which prevents ransomware from spreading over the network via Windows Server Message Block (SMB) and stops mass encryption as early as possible.
Our innovations extend beyond endpoint protection to provide customers with a robust and comprehensive defense. Recent CrowdStrike Falcon® Cloud Security advancements protect every layer of cloud risk, from AI models to runtime data. CrowdStrike Falcon® Data Protection innovations unify data security across endpoints, cloud, GenAI, and SaaS. CrowdStrike Falcon® Identity Protection now secures the entire identity attack lifecycle across hybrid environments, from initial access to privilege escalation and lateral movement. With every module managed from a single console, the Falcon platform delivers AI-driven protection — trained on trillions of daily events and front-line intelligence — across modules, without relying on stitched-together data or disconnected systems.
While CrowdStrike’s innovations extend beyond the endpoint, they still strengthen endpoint protection. Every module delivered from the Falcon platform fortifies the others. As adversaries move across domains to target endpoints, identity, and cloud, the unified Falcon platform is built to detect and respond with speed and precision. We believe our Completeness of Vision position is a direct result of this innovation.
Highest in Core Endpoint Protection Use Case
In addition to being named a Leader for the sixth consecutive time in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Endpoint Protection Platforms, CrowdStrike is proud to be acknowledged in the 2025 Gartner Critical Capabilities Report for Endpoint Protection Platforms.
CrowdStrike received the highest score out of all vendors evaluated in the Core Endpoint Protection Use Case for the third year in a row.2 We believe this recognition demonstrates the Falcon platform’s strength in connecting critical security functions such as endpoint, identity, and cloud security to combat today’s advanced cross-domain attacks.
CrowdStrike Is a 2025 Customers’ Choice for EPP
In our opinion, the most important recognition is given directly from our customers. We’re proud to be the only vendor that has been recognized as a Customers’ Choice in the Gartner® Voice of the Customer for Endpoint Protection Platforms every year since the report’s inception, including the most recent report in May of this year.
In the 2025 Gartner Peer Insights™ “Voice of the Customer” for Endpoint Protection Platforms report, 97% of customers said they would recommend CrowdStrike, out of 601 reviews as of January 2025. We received the most 5-star ratings (450) of any Customers’ Choice vendor.3 Whether a customer is a fast-growing startup or Fortune 100 enterprise, our focus remains the same: Deliver powerful protection, frictionless operations, and a customer experience that goes above and beyond.
We believe our recognition in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms, the 2025 Gartner Critical Capabilities Report for Endpoint Protection Platforms, and the 2025 Voice of the Customer for Endpoint Protection Platforms is validation of what our customers already know: CrowdStrike stops breaches.
