CrowdStrike has been named the Overall Leader in the 2025 KuppingerCole Leadership Compass for Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR). The company earned the top spot for innovation among evaluated vendors and was recognized as a product and market leader for providing a unified solution that secures every type of identity—human, non-human, and AI agent—across the complete hybrid identity lifecycle.

Alejandro Leal, Senior Analyst at KuppingerCole, noted, “CrowdStrike earned the highest innovation rating, particularly for its seamless integration of identity detection within the Falcon platform. Unified approaches like CrowdStrike’s, which offer full visibility across the identity stack, are critical for protecting both human and non-human identities as organizations scale and automate their operations.”

Key Highlights from the Report

AI-Driven Protection for Humans and AI Agents
CrowdStrike leverages AI to differentiate between human and non-human identities, including service accounts and AI agents. Its AI-based behavioral and attribute-driven models help organizations accurately classify identities and strengthen security.

Comprehensive Security for Hybrid Environments
The Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security platform provides full visibility across identity systems such as Active Directory, Entra ID, Okta, Ping, and AWS IAM Identity Center, while also extending coverage to SaaS applications via Falcon Shield.

Integrated Privileged Access Management
Falcon Privileged Access extends ITDR capabilities into cloud PAM, offering Just-in-Time access controls that eliminate standing privileges in Entra ID and Active Directory. By integrating into the unified Falcon platform, it reduces complexity and closes security gaps created by fragmented or multi-tool solutions.
