A “Stellar” MDR Offering for the European Market

“CrowdStrike understands the threat landscape and has deep technical capabilities,” Forrester writes in the report. “CrowdStrike’s stellar MDR offering, backed by advanced extended detection and response (XDR) capabilities and a commitment to cybersecurity research, puts it ahead of its European peers.” CrowdStrike is consistently recognized as an industry leader in analyst reports and awarded for the Falcon platform’s powerful capabilities — many of these industry reports provide a global perspective of the cybersecurity market. We believe this Europe-specific research both validates CrowdStrike’s capabilities and adds an important local dimension. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is built and run with European data privacy laws in mind and provides EU hosting locations to help with local regulatory mandates and standards.

With the combination of CrowdStrike’s best-in-class, AI-native Falcon platform and the layers of deep expertise built into our Falcon Complete MDR subscription offering, our European customers have full confidence in CrowdStrike’s ability to detect and respond to modern threats all day, every day.

“Organizations looking for a vendor with advanced threat hunting and response capabilities should consider CrowdStrike,” Forrester writes in its report.

Why CrowdStrike Falcon Complete Is a Leader in MDR

In addition to our powerful technical capabilities, Forrester highlights the layers of human expertise that set CrowdStrike apart from our European competitors.

“At the core of CrowdStrike’s MDR service is a deep expertise in threat intelligence and incident response,” Forrester writes in its report. “Its roots in these areas shine through in its focus on robust telemetry and rapid analysis.”
