CrowdStrike Falcon® Cloud Security earns perfect scores across seven key criteria, delivering comprehensive code-to-cloud protection to secure container environments and stop breaches

AUSTIN, Texas: CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it has been named a Leader in the 2024 GigaOm Radar Report for Container Security. The report recognized the innovation and leadership of CrowdStrike Falcon® Cloud Security, awarding it seven perfect scores across critical categories, including Flexibility, Interoperability, Lifecycle Security Management, Manageability, Registry Scanning, Scalability and Threat Intelligence.

Kubernetes and containers are now the backbone of modern cloud architecture, powering nearly all custom applications and AI workloads. With more than 60% of organizations using Kubernetes, securing these environments is critical to stopping breaches and protecting innovation. Securing containers and Kubernetes at the speed of CI/CD requires a modern approach to cloud security that delivers complete visibility and protection across every attack path. CrowdStrike protects the entire cloud estate—containers, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, applications, data and AI models—all from a single, unified platform, empowering organizations to innovate without compromise.

The report highlighted several key differentiators that reinforce CrowdStrike’s leadership in container security, including:

• Code-to-Cloud Protection: The report highlights Falcon Cloud Security's ability to deliver “comprehensive protection from code to cloud,” across the entire software lifecycle—spanning development, runtime and posture management. CrowdStrike’s “end-to-end container security capabilities for containerized and Kubernetes environments” stand out, including continuous image scanning, dynamic container analysis and runtime protection powered by machine learning and behavioral analysis. Differentiators include its agent- and agentless platform approach, AI-driven threat detection and industry-leading threat intelligence.
• Innovation and Leadership in Cloud: The report recognizes CrowdStrike’s “focused approach to container security” and commitment to innovation, including the addition of emerging features like Data Security Posture Management (DSPM). By consistently expanding capabilities, CrowdStrike delivers holistic protection across the full spectrum of enterprise cloud risks. This innovative approach is a key reason why CrowdStrike was named a Leader in the 2024 GigaOm Radar Report for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPPs).
• Security Ecosystem Integrations: CrowdStrike’s extensive platform integrations were cited as a differentiating factor, with GigaOm noting that CrowdStrike “seamlessly integrates with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps tools for continuous monitoring, vulnerability management, runtime protection, and automated compliance enforcement across applications, cloud service providers and IT.” This helps customers to easily bring CrowdStrike into their existing security workflows.

“Containerized environments are helping customers drive innovation, but are also becoming prime targets for adversaries, who often take advantage of weak security tools or inadequate security measures,” said Raj Rajamani, head of products at CrowdStrike. “CrowdStrike’s recognition as a Leader in the GigaOm Container Security Radar underscores our ability to deliver full-spectrum protection for both private and public cloud applications and services. Falcon Cloud Security goes beyond just identifying issues, it stops breaches, enabling organizations to scale securely across even the most complex cloud environments.”
