CrowdStrike Named a Leader in the 2026 IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Modern Endpoint Security for Enterprises Vendor Assessment

CrowdStrike reports that it was named a Leader in IDC’s 2026 MarketScape assessment of enterprise endpoint-security vendors, citing the Falcon platform’s detection, protection, and response capabilities, broad platform coverage, and AI-focused investments. The company argues that endpoint security must evolve for an “agentic endpoint” environment in which people, applications, AI agents, and AI-enabled attackers interact through identities, software, browsers, tools, and data. Its proposed approach, agentic endpoint security, combines conventional defenses against ransomware, credential abuse, malware-free activity, and supply-chain attacks with controls for AI agents. Falcon Guardian is presented as a component that discovers AI agents, applies governance policies, identifies threats such as prompt injection and malicious skills, and connects agent prompts to operating-system telemetry through the existing Falcon sensor. CrowdStrike also highlights IDC-cited performance results, including its claimed perfect scores in the 2025 MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise Evaluations, and states that its Threat Graph processes trillions of events daily to provide runtime context across endpoint, identity, cloud, browser, data, and other security domains.
