CrowdStrike has been named a Leader in the inaugural 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies and positioned furthest to the right in Completeness of Vision among all vendors evaluated.
We believe this placement validates CrowdStrike as the platform of choice for threat intelligence and reflects our relentless innovation to provide organizations with the technology they need to understand, detect, and defend against modern adversaries. CrowdStrike Falcon® Adversary Intelligence, delivered from the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon® platform, tailors adversary intelligence to each customer environment so they can detect, identify, and respond to threats.
CrowdStrike pioneered adversary-driven intelligence. As adversaries redefine the threat landscape with their evolving use of AI, we are transforming threat intelligence into agentic adversary disruption by delivering intelligence at the point of decision-making.
Threat Intelligence for the AI Era
Gartner has positioned CrowdStrike furthest right in Completeness of Vision, which in our view is due to last year’s launch of Threat AI, cybersecurity’s first agentic threat intelligence system. We believe this is a testament to how our threat intelligence empowers customers to face modern adversaries.
Today’s adversaries are using AI to accelerate their speed, scale, and sophistication. In 2025, attacks from AI-powered adversaries increased 89% year-over-year. Organizations understand threat intelligence is critical to stay ahead of them, but many are poorly equipped with fragmented tools, manual workflows, and threat intelligence that arrives too late or lacks relevance to their environment. Security teams must often sort through raw data without insight into the full threat landscape, which is essential to prioritize and respond to threats.
Threat AI is built to deliver intelligence at the point of decision-making. It brings together AI-powered agents built on the Falcon platform to reason, hunt, and take action against any stage of adversary activity. The Malware Analysis Agent and Hunt Agent, the first of many Threat AI agents, automate two of the most complex and time-consuming analyst workflows to deliver elite expertise to every team.
The Malware Analysis Agent automates reversing, classifying, and comparing malware at machine speed. In seconds, the agent analyzes files, identifies code similarities, provides instant attribution, and generates YARA rules, delivering actionable insights and scaling defenses across entire malware families.
The Hunt Agent automates proactive, expert-level threat hunting that continuously scans for emerging threats, rapidly surfaces critical findings, and delivers actionable insights and next-step recommendations. By automating complex investigations and reducing context switching, agentic intelligence augments analysts with the context they need to move faster while remaining firmly in command.
We also launched the Threat Intelligence Browser Extension for Google Chrome to extend intelligence everywhere analysts work. These innovations turn customized intelligence into action and empower organizations to detect, understand, and disrupt today’s adversaries at machine speed.
Intelligence Tailored to Each Unique Environment
Falcon Adversary Intelligence delivers prioritized and customized intelligence based on each organization’s industry, infrastructure, and exposure. It reports on pertinent threats and trends, tracks activity on the dark web, and surfaces the most relevant information to each customer. When intelligence is tied to customer-specific risk factors, such as an adversary that has been targeting their industry or has been seen in their environment, it is escalated so they can triage decisions and accelerate response.
Data Advantage at Scale
All of these capabilities are built on a vast foundation of data. CrowdStrike delivers original, validated intelligence sourced from trillions of daily events in the Falcon platform. This intelligence is strengthened by incident response, threat hunting, and broad external collection across thousands of additional sources. Every insight undergoes rigorous analysis and expert review, leading to high-fidelity intelligence our customers can trust.
Organizations can operationalize CrowdStrike intelligence with or without the Falcon platform, by using a broad integration ecosystem that spans APIs, marketplaces, and partner workflows to extend intelligence across security environments.
An Industry Leader in Threat Intelligence
CrowdStrike has long set the standard for world-class threat intelligence, and we’re not slowing down. For organizations around the world and across industries, we are a trusted threat intelligence partner that helps them understand the adversaries they face, identify and disrupt cyberattacks, and improve their security.
We believe our recognition in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies, and placement furthest to the right for Completeness of Vision, is a validation of what our customers already know: CrowdStrike is the industry pioneer in threat intelligence.
