We are thrilled to announce that Forrester named CrowdStrike a “Strong Performer” in The Forrester New Wave™: Extended Detection And Response (XDR) Providers, Q4 2021, its New Wave market evaluation of 14 XDR providers.
XDR Is the Future of EDR
This Forrester New Wave signals the next frontier for the endpoint detection and response (EDR) market and outlines the unified, threat-oriented approach needed to stop breaches across the security stack in the years to come. More specifically, this Forrester New Wave offers important guidance for security and risk professionals to evaluate the current and future state of XDR technology, including that:- The goalposts for XDR success are set. The XDR market is still in its infancy, with basic definitions and terminology still varying widely. Now with this independent market evaluation, security and risk professionals will shift from asking “What is XDR?” to “When should I adopt it?”
- Endpoint detection and response (EDR) is at the core of XDR. The battle to define the XDR market is over — and SIEM and SOAR have lost. It’s clear that endpoint protection capabilities are not just important for XDR but a base requirement. To be considered for inclusion in the Forrester XDR New Wave, vendors had to demonstrate “EDR efficacy” and participate in recent MITRE ATT&CK® evaluations.
- CrowdStrike offers “distinct capabilities with an aggressive roadmap…” Forrester scored CrowdStrike as differentiated in the criteria of “product security” and “planned enhancements” for its XDR offerings — while also ranking CrowdStrike among the top of all 14 XDR providers in the Strategy category. With a strong XDR foundation now in place and a compelling roadmap, CrowdStrike is incredibly excited about what’s on the horizon for XDR and the CrowdStrike Falcon®® platform.
- The future of XDR at CrowdStrike is already here. Earlier this week, CrowdStrike made seminal XDR announcements, introducing the new CROWDSTRIKE FALCON® XDR
module and dedicated CrowdXDR Alliance to partner with other leading security and IT providers for a true, integrated best-of-breed XDR ecosystem.
