External attack surfaces are expanding faster than most organizations can track. Internet-facing cloud services, network devices, commercial AI tools, and third-party infrastructure are driving the growth of unintended exposure outside security teams’ control. CrowdStrike Falcon® Exposure Management, delivered through the unified CrowdStrike Falcon® platform, identifies known and unknown assets across the external attack surface and internal systems, and prioritizes vulnerabilities most likely to be exploited, so organizations can reduce their risk.
CrowdStrike has been named a Customers’ Choice in the 2025 Gartner® Peer Insights™ Voice of the Customer for External Attack Surface Management (EASM) report. We are the only company with this distinction in both years the report has been published.
We believe this recognition reflects the trust organizations place in CrowdStrike to prioritize and remediate risk across their environments. By unifying external attack surface visibility with internal exposure context, adversary-driven prioritization, and attack path analysis, Falcon Exposure Management provides customers with a continuous view of exposure risk.
