A Visionary Leader in MDR

In a crowded MDR market, independent analyst evaluations like The Forrester Wave™ give customers clarity and confidence. This Forrester Wave applies a rigorous and objective methodology that evaluates 11 providers in Europe for current offering, strategy, and customer experience. This process helps organizations cut through the noise and understand which MDR providers are the right ones for their needs.

We believe being recognized as a Leader demonstrates that Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR continues to set the pace for what MDR should deliver: expert-driven protection, cross-domain coverage, and outcomes that matter to customers. For CISOs and security leaders, this recognition means peace of mind, knowing their MDR provider has been independently validated as one of the strongest in the industry.

The Forrester report highlights CrowdStrike’s differentiated vision, noting:

• “The company has demonstrated strong innovation capabilities with its advances in using AI for playbook generation, detection, and response.”
• “CrowdStrike articulates a highly differentiated vision for MDR, emphasizing threat hunting, identity-centric security, and comprehensive visibility to make detection faster and more accurate.”
• “Customers consistently praise the high level of expertise demonstrated by CrowdStrike’s analysts, its clarity of communication, and the flexibility it demonstrates during complex incidents.”

CrowdStrike believes this recognition reflects its ability to combine world-class expertise with platform and AI innovation to outpace adversaries and deliver outcomes for customers.
