CrowdStrike has been recognized as a leader in multiple cybersecurity assessments, including the Forrester Wave™ and IDC MarketScape reports, for their managed detection and response services and incident response capabilities. The company emphasizes the importance of cloud security in the face of evolving cyber threats, highlighting issues such as the misuse of credentials and the lack of multifactor authentication as major vulnerabilities. CrowdStrike's experts stress the need for organizations to adopt robust cloud hygiene practices, prioritize identity management, and diversify security applications to protect against adversaries who exploit weak points in cloud environments. The company's incident response and threat intelligence teams collaborate closely to enhance cyber defense strategies, focusing on the increasing complexity of threats in interconnected cloud systems. CrowdStrike also advocates for a multi-layered security approach, advising against reliance on a single vendor for both productivity and security to prevent potential system-wide breaches.
