CrowdStrike wins Best Security Company (Over 250 Employees), with judges recognising the company’s combination of market leadership, sustained growth, platform innovation and customer impact.
The company has established itself as one of the largest and most influential players in cybersecurity, serving more than 74,000 customers worldwide, including 62% of the Fortune 500, major healthcare and automotive organisations, and 42 U.S. states, fueling continued commercial momentum, with record net new annual recurring revenue (ARR) of $265 million in Q3 FY26 and total ARR reaching $4.92 billion.
CrowdStrike attributes much of that growth to the expanding breadth of its Falcon platform, which spans endpoint, cloud, identity, AI and security operations. The company continues to invest heavily in AI-driven capabilities through its Agentic Security Platform, including Charlotte AI and agentic SOAR functionality designed to automate investigations, accelerate response and reduce operational burden on security teams.
Beyond technology, the company emphasises customer success through 24/7/365 support, onboarding services, technical account management and training delivered through CrowdStrike University. It also points to independent validation of its technology, including results from the 2025 MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise Evaluations, where CrowdStrike reported 100% detection, 100% protection and zero false positives.
Judges described CrowdStrike as a clear winner, praising its market leadership, broad product portfolio and strong reputation across the cybersecurity industry.

Strong customer adoption by leading technology and AI companies including AWS, Google Cloud, Intel, Meta, NVIDIA and Salesforce also reinforced the view that CrowdStrike continues to set the pace for large-scale cybersecurity providers.
