CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it has been named an Innovation and Growth Leader in the 2025 Frost Radar™: Cloud Workload Protection Platforms, scoring highest of all vendors on the Innovation Index. Frost & Sullivan recognized CrowdStrike as the only CNAPP delivering unified, pre-runtime and runtime protection across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, accelerating the market’s shift to consolidate fragmented tools onto a single, unified platform.

Frost & Sullivan highlights that “CrowdStrike is rated as an innovation and growth leader in this Radar analysis for its unified cloud security platform and tremendous growth momentum over the last 4 years.”

Falcon® Cloud Security delivers industry-leading pre-runtime and runtime protection to secure the entire cloud workload lifecycle. As part of the unified Falcon® platform, CrowdStrike integrates cloud security with endpoint, identity, and data protection in a single platform, providing the end-to-end visibility and automated protection required to stop breaches across modern hybrid environments and rapidly expanding AI workloads.

Frost & Sullivan reinforces that only a unified platform that delivers end-to-end protection across cloud, identity, endpoint, and data is required to stop the modern adversary.”
