CrowdStrike Named a Leader in the Inaugural 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies

CrowdStrike positioned furthest right for Completeness of Vision among all vendors evaluated

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it has been named a Leader in the inaugural 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies1. CrowdStrike positioned furthest right for Completeness of Vision among all vendors evaluated. As adversaries weaponize AI to collapse the defender's window of response, CrowdStrike transforms threat intelligence into agentic adversary disruption, delivering intelligence at the point of decision-making, at the speed of the threat.

“CrowdStrike pioneered adversary-driven intelligence, using frontline findings to stop real-world attacks,” said Adam Meyers, head of counter adversary operations at CrowdStrike. "By combining the industry's deepest understanding of adversary operations with agentic systems that reason across threat data and exposure risk, hunt adversaries proactively, and take decisive action across the kill chain, CrowdStrike accelerates outcomes and stops breaches."

From Static Threat Intel Reports to Agentic Adversary Disruption

CrowdStrike sets the industry standard for adversary intelligence, tracking over 280 of the world’s most sophisticated nation-state, eCrime and hacktivist groups. In our view, the Gartner inaugural report based on the Cyberthreat Intelligence category confirms what adversary behavior has already made clear: threat intelligence is no longer a reporting discipline, it is an operational one. CrowdStrike's agentic threat intelligence drives a market transformation, delivering agents that reason across adversary behavior, hunt proactively, and disrupt attacks across the kill chain at machine speed.

Threat AI, the industry's first agentic threat intelligence system, reasons across threat data, hunts adversaries proactively, and takes decisive action across the kill chain, pursuing and disrupting adversaries at machine speed and accelerating threat response at the speed of the AI-enabled adversary. CrowdStrike's expanding fleet of AI agents transforms finished intelligence into agentic adversary disruption, exposing adversary tradecraft and closing critical gaps at the speed of the adversary.

The CrowdStrike Falcon® platform brings detection and response, intelligence, and exposure management together in one platform. The same data used to detect a threat informs the agentic intelligence that explains it, identifies exposed assets and attack paths, and helps organizations operationalize Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) as part of adversary-driven defense, disrupting the adversary without handoff.

CrowdStrike's Threat Intelligence & Hunting capabilities are continuously informed by real-world decisions from CrowdStrike Counter Adversary Operations' team of elite threat hunters and intelligence experts. Powered by trillions of daily security events and industry-leading expertise, the Falcon platform operationalizes agentic threat intelligence at scale, connecting external threat activity to internal exposure risk and enabling real-time action across SIEM, SOAR, XDR, cloud and SASE environments to stop breaches.
