AUSTIN, Texas, November 12, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it has been named a Leader in the 2026 IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Augmented Identity Security Solutions.1

Identity is the front line of modern attacks. As organizations race to deploy AI agents operating at machine speed with system-level access, they expose the limitations of fragmented security models built on static policies, standing privileges, and one-time authorizations.

Stopping identity-based attacks in the agentic era requires unified visibility and Continuous Identity for human, non-human, and AI agent identities across the enterprise. Of CrowdStrike, the IDC MarketScape states "the view is the strength. Identity teams have long treated the endpoint as someone else's department; CrowdStrike has treated it as the crime scene."

Visibility is the foundation. Granting access to human and AI agent identities the moment it's needed and revoking it the moment it's not is the outcome. The IDC MarketScape highlights how "The unified risk score, it says, updates in under a minute, includes blast radius, and feeds every downstream enforcement control, with reevaluation after authentication and midsession intervention." The report continues, "In IDC's view, a single sensor that sees both the endpoint and the directory is a credible route to catching identity attacks in motion."

"Enterprise identities are now human and agentic, and threats move at machine speed. CrowdStrike has the architecture to stop them in real time," said Scott Kriz, GM of Continuous Identity at CrowdStrike. "We believe this recognition validates that Continuous Identity is the standard for securing every identity in the agentic era."

Continuous Identity for the Agentic EnterpriseFalcon Next-Gen Identity Security is accelerating the shift to Continuous Identity driven by strength across its product portfolio.
