April 27, 2026 Brett Shaw We're proud to announce that Frost & Sullivan has named CrowdStrike a Leader for the fourth consecutive time in the 2026 Radar for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms. This recognition validates our continued investment in combining posture management with real-time detection and response, and reinforces our leadership in stopping cloud attacks. While Frost & Sullivan tracks more than 30 CNAPP platform offerings, they evaluated the top 13 vendors based on their cloud security capabilities and go-to-market strategy.
Cloud adversaries are accelerating and outpacing defenses. The CrowdStrike 2026 Global Threat Report shows cloud-conscious intrusions by state-nexus threat actors surged 266% year-over-year. The fastest recorded eCrime breakout time was only 27 seconds. As adversaries move faster, organizations require real-time detection and response across identity, endpoint, and cloud. CrowdStrike provides the technology they need. "CrowdStrike continues to stand out as an innovation leader in CNAPP through its unified Falcon Cloud Security platform," Frost & Sullivan states in the report.
This recognition highlights how CrowdStrike is extending cloud security into real-time operations, enabling faster investigation and response to keep pace with modern adversaries. Innovation and Growth Recognized by Frost & Sullivan CrowdStrike’s recognition as a Leader in the Frost Radar reflects our strength in cloud threat detection and response. “As one of the pioneers in CDR, CrowdStrike is particularly strong in cloud threat detection and response with its cloud detection architecture purpose-built to process cloud logs, reducing detection latency from minutes to seconds and enabling automated cloud response actions,” Frost & Sullivan highlights in its report.
We continue to build new capabilities to help security teams prioritize and act on cloud risk. Recent innovations in CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security include adversary-informed risk prioritization, which identifies which cloud risks are known to be exploited by threat actors, as well as Timeline Explorer, which reconstructs findings into time-ordered root cause analysis to support faster investigation and remediation.
This approach reflects the broader evolution of Falcon Cloud Security. According to Frost & Sullivan, “CrowdStrike remains one of the fastest-growing vendors in the CNAPP market, and its cloud security business sustained strong momentum into fiscal 2026.” The report also highlights our continued innovation in AI-powered security, particularly through our CrowdStrike® Charlotte AI™ capabilities. These include Charlotte AI Agentic Response and agentic SOC automation, which are capabilities designed to automate investigation and response with reasoning-based actions under expert-defined guardrails.
Customers using both Charlotte AI and Falcon Cloud Security can use these to translate Falcon Cloud Security findings into faster remediation while reducing analyst burden. Our investment in AI security extends beyond automation to protecting AI workloads themselves, including our recent acquisition of Pangea, which adds capabilities to secure AI interactions, inspect prompts and responses, and govern risky AI use.
Watch Falcon Cloud Security in action: Watch real-time CDR in action: Looking Ahead As Frost & Sullivan notes, CrowdStrike is "well positioned to solidify its role as a trusted partner for organizations seeking to unify posture, risk, and threat detection in a single operational fabric." Our focus on real-time CDR, multi-cloud consistency, integrated extended detection and response (XDR) and managed detection and response (MDR) operations, and AI-driven risk prioritization makes Falcon Cloud Security "one of the most popular CNAPP solutions in the market." We're committed to continuing our innovation leadership, particularly in expanding our shift-left capabilities and deepening our prevention-side capabilities to serve the full spectrum of cloud security buyers from development through production.
