If a picture is worth a thousand words, the 2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Endpoint Protection Platforms says it all.

Today, I’m incredibly honored and proud to announce CrowdStrike has been named a Leader in the 2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Endpoint Protection Platforms. We have been positioned furthest right for Completeness of Vision and highest for Ability to Execute among 16 vendors evaluated in the report.

We believe the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon® extended detection and response (XDR) platform is the most powerful, capable and innovative cybersecurity platform on the market today — and that CrowdStrike stands alone in delivering market-leading security to the endpoint and beyond to organizations of all sizes.

Defining the Future of AI Cybersecurity

This marks the fourth consecutive time Gartner has positioned CrowdStrike furthest right in Completeness of Vision, which we believe positions us as a trusted innovation partner in endpoint security.

Since CrowdStrike’s founding, we’ve harnessed the power of AI to drive detection innovation and optimize the analyst experience. CrowdStrike pioneered the endpoint detection and response (EDR) market with an AI-native platform designed to centralize and analyze trillions of events daily — and enrich these insights with our world-class threat intelligence — to identify adversarial patterns and stop cyberattacks. We’ve continued to innovate in endpoint protection and lead the industry in AI since then, as evidenced by the recent announcements of CrowdStrike® Charlotte AI™, AI-powered indicators of attack (IOAs) for advanced behavioral analysis and nonstop improvements to our advanced, AI-powered detection engine.

These AI innovations help organizations more quickly detect, respond to and prevent threats.  Our AI-native platform, with a single lightweight agent, empowers customers to simplify their operations and consolidate disjointed point products to achieve a unified defense against increasingly sophisticated attacks targeting endpoints, identities, cloud workloads and more.

Cybersecurity consolidation has been a key focus for organizations seeking to improve security outcomes, reduce technology sprawl, and minimize cost and complexity. Customers are consolidating with CrowdStrike because the Falcon platform makes it easy to expand protections beyond the endpoint to defend cloud, identity and data using the same lightweight agent and command console.

And while adoption of our XDR solution has soared, we’ve doubled down on R&D. The recently announced Raptor release of the Falcon platform introduces more innovative XDR capabilities that radically transform the speed and efficiency of investigations with generative AI and a completely reimagined analyst experience.

Cybersecurity Built for Every Organization 

Gartner positioned CrowdStrike highest in Ability to Execute, which we believe acknowledges our trusted combination of a unified, innovative platform and professional services to protect organizations of all sizes.

Our cloud-delivered endpoint security solutions were designed to protect a broad range of organizations. CrowdStrike is trusted by the world’s top enterprises and government agencies, and we recently made it easier for small and medium businesses (SMBs) to take advantage of market-leading cybersecurity. CrowdStrike Falcon® Go offers award-winning, AI-powered cybersecurity to protect SMBs from ransomware, data breaches and other threats. With just a few clicks, users of all skill levels can quickly and easily deploy CrowdStrike endpoint security.

For organizations that require additional support, we offer around-the-clock expert management, monitoring, proactive threat hunting and end-to-end remediation delivered by CrowdStrike’s team of dedicated security experts. In May, Gartner ranked CrowdStrike #1 in the Market Share: Managed Security Services, Worldwide, 2022 report for Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Market Share for the second consecutive year. We believe this, and our recognition in the 2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Endpoint Protection Platforms, acknowledges our ability to deliver innovative and powerful endpoint security for every organization. 

Thank You

I’m honored to share these insights on behalf of every CrowdStriker who works tirelessly to deliver world-class security outcomes for our customers. We have the leading endpoint security in the market and exceptional vision for endpoint security through our innovations in AI. 

CrowdStrike’s AI advantage means better, faster and more cost-effective cybersecurity for our customers. And earlier this year, our customers agreed. In the 2023 Gartner® Peer Insights™ Voice of the Customer for Endpoint Protection Platforms Report, CrowdStrike scored the highest “Willingness to Recommend” from 98% of customers and a rating of 4.8 out of 5 based on 499 overall responses as of June 2023.

The word is out: CrowdStrike dominates in endpoint security. Between what analysts are saying and what customers are saying, CrowdStrike’s focus and innovation are paying off. Thanks to everyone for the continued support as we build the future of AI cybersecurity for all. Onward!
