CrowdStrike Named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: External Threat Intelligence Service Providers, Q3 2026

CrowdStrike reports that it was named a Leader in Forrester’s Q3 2026 evaluation of external threat intelligence service providers, earning the highest scores in the Current Offering and Strategy categories. The company attributes the recognition to its platform-native intelligence, which combines proprietary endpoint telemetry with adversary research, threat hunting, incident response insights, malware analysis, vulnerability intelligence, and deep and dark web monitoring to connect external threats with customer environments. Forrester’s assessment reportedly gave CrowdStrike top marks in 15 criteria, including threat hunting and vulnerability intelligence, where CrowdStrike says it was the only evaluated vendor to receive perfect scores. The post argues that AI-enabled adversaries are shortening response windows and that security teams need integrated intelligence rather than fragmented tools and data sources. CrowdStrike outlines a strategy in which Threat AI and purpose-built agents support an agentic security operations center by investigating threats, prioritizing exposures, connecting context, and accelerating response actions, while noting that Forrester’s ratings are opinions based on information available at the time of publication.
