Ransomware continues to disrupt organizations globally, with attacks becoming more sophisticated and destructive. According to the GigaOm report, "Ransomware is a multi-faceted problem with multiple attack vectors and many ways that attacks can impact data, including the growing problems of double and triple extortion attacks. To be effective in protecting customers from this widening threat often requires a broad platform approach." The Falcon platform delivers an integrated, single-platform approach to ransomware prevention, combining AI-powered threat detection, behavior-based analytics, identity protection and proactive threat hunting from CrowdStrike Falcon® Adversary OverWatch. This empowers customers to stop ransomware at every stage, from initial delivery to lateral movement and privilege escalation - stopping attacks before they can cause damage.

The report highlighted several key differentiators that reinforce CrowdStrike's position as a market leader, including:

• Comprehensive Platform Approach: The report highlights that "CrowdStrike offers a broad security platform that covers endpoint protection, identity protection, cloud security, IT automation and next-gen SIEM," noting that its "modular approach allows customers to develop a comprehensive platform that covers ransomware threats across endpoints, networks, clouds, and identity," and "its Falcon platform enables comprehensive ransomware detection, prevention, and protection."
• Innovation in AI and Automation: The Falcon platform leverages AI-driven threat detection to streamline decision-making, simplify querying large datasets and enhance automated responses. As noted by GigaOm, "CrowdStrike scored well on our emerging features and continues to invest and innovate rapidly, especially in areas such as AI and automation, marking it as an Outperformer." The report also noted "The company remains innovative in a wide range of areas, such as its use of Charlotte AI, its generative AI 'security analyst,' to enhance its capabilities."
• Security Ecosystem Integrations: CrowdStrike's extensive platform integrations were cited as a differentiating factor, with GigaOm noting that the "CrowdStrike marketplace offers an extensive set of integrations across a wide range of existing security tools, including SIEM, XDSR, cloud identity platforms, and email security, as well as ITSM tools like Jira and ServiceNow. This helps customers to easily bring CrowdStrike into their existing security workflows."
