CrowdStrike Named a Leader in 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection

CrowdStrike Blog, Friday, May 29th, 2026

CrowdStrike achieved Leader status in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection for the seventh consecutive time.

CrowdStrike has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection for the seventh consecutive year, and ranked furthest right for Completeness of Vision and highest for Ability to Execute for the fourth consecutive time.

The company attributes this recognition to its unified, AI-native platform designed to stop sophisticated threats in an increasingly complex threat landscape shaped by AI and agentic applications. CrowdStrike emphasizes that the endpoint has become the definitive control point for modern security, with agentic applications introducing new high-privilege attack surfaces requiring deep runtime visibility and control.

The recognition affirms CrowdStrike's pioneering vision and execution in endpoint detection and response (EDR), positioning its Falcon platform as best positioned to define the next evolution of AI detection and response (AIDR).
