Forrester named CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) a Leader in its “External Threat Intelligence Service Providers, Q3 2026” report. The company received the highest ranking among all vendors in both the Current Offering and Strategy categories.

Forrester's report highlights AI's growing importance in operationalizing threat intelligence. The research firm stated CrowdStrike's key strength is its “platform-native intelligence.” This intelligence is powered by proprietary endpoint telemetry that external vendors cannot access through partnerships or integrations. CrowdStrike's Falcon sensor supports this strength. The sensor generates nearly 7 trillion events daily. It also tracks over 290 adversaries.

CrowdStrike states this proprietary data provides a crucial advantage. It trains its Threat AI to take decisive action against cyber threats. The recognition marks another significant industry acknowledgment for the cybersecurity firm.
