CrowdStrike has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: External Threat Intelligence Service Providers, Q3 2026, securing the highest scores in both Current Offering and Strategy. The evaluation emphasizes the power of CrowdStrike’s platform-native intelligence, which utilizes proprietary telemetry and deep dark web coverage to provide high-context insights. This integration allows security teams to bridge the gap between adversary intelligence and actual environmental activity, addressing the critical need for speed in modern cyber defense.
A key highlight of the report is CrowdStrike's top performance in threat hunting and vulnerability intelligence, where it outperformed all other evaluated vendors. The company's future-focused strategy involves the development of an "agentic SOC," utilizing AI-driven agents to automate investigations and unify various security domains like exposure management and attack surface monitoring. This vision aims to move threat intelligence from a siloed research function to a central decision-making engine that drives automated, rapid response.
