CrowdStrike is the only vendor named a Customers’ Choice in both years the report has been issued

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 9, 2026-- CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it is the only vendor named a Customers’ Choice in the 2025 Gartner Peer Insights™ ‘Voice of the Customer’ for External Attack Surface Management (EASM) report,¹ making CrowdStrike the only company with this distinction in both years the report has been published. Delivered as part of the unified CrowdStrike Falcon® platform, Falcon® Exposure Management helps security teams reduce risk by identifying known and unknown assets across their external attack surface and internal systems, and prioritizing the vulnerabilities most likely to be exploited based on how adversaries target their environment and asset criticality.

“To us, being the only vendor to be named a Customers’ Choice reflects the trust organizations place in CrowdStrike to solve one of security’s most challenging problems: finding and fixing vulnerabilities at scale," said Elia Zaitsev, chief technology officer at CrowdStrike. "By unifying AI-powered risk prioritization and remediation across every layer of enterprise risk, CrowdStrike sets the standard for exposure management in the AI era."
