GigaOm highlighted that “a defining characteristic is cross-domain correlation: identity telemetry is enriched with endpoint, cloud, and SaaS data through the Falcon platform and CrowdStrike Next-Gen SIEM, enabling detection of attack chains that span multiple environments.”
CrowdStrike was awarded perfect 5/5 scores in core criteria including Non-human Identity (NHI) Security, Risk-Adaptive Access Controls, AI-Enhanced SecOps, and Automated Incident Response. This recognition validates Falcon® Next-Gen Identity Security for advancing the market beyond fragmented, static access controls with continuous, risk-aware protection across every identity – human, non-human, and AI agent.
“This report confirms what our customers already know: Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security is the identity security control plane for the agentic enterprise,” said Elia Zaitsev, chief technology officer, CrowdStrike. “As AI agents and NHIs operate with superhuman speed and access, legacy identity models built on static policies and standing privileges break down. CrowdStrike eliminates standing privileges and delivers continuous, risk-aware protection across every identity, from endpoint to browser to cloud.”
