CrowdStrike has expanded its collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to introduce new AI, cloud, and Next-Gen SIEM innovations designed to help organizations securely build, deploy, and operate AI applications and cloud workloads. This expansion focuses on identifying and mitigating AI runtime risks across applications built with AWS technologies such as Amazon Bedrock, Kiro, and Strands Agents.

The company is extending CrowdStrike Falcon AI Detection and Response (AIDR) capabilities on AWS. This move aims to provide organizations with the tools necessary to address the specific security challenges posed by frontier AI and the reduced window between vulnerability and exploitation. By integrating with AWS infrastructure, CrowdStrike offers a path to secure large production workloads in the cloud.

Availability of the CrowdStrike Falcon platform is increasing in AWS Marketplace. The company introduced new 30-day free trials for CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security, and CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Security on a pay-as-you-go basis. These trials allow organizations to evaluate the security solutions within their existing AWS environments.

To streamline onboarding and accelerate time-to-value, CrowdStrike released new Quick Start connectors for Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) access logs. Additionally, AWS PrivateLink cross-region support has been implemented to simplify cloud-scale security operations on AWS.

CrowdStrike has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave: Extended Detection and Response Platforms, Q2 2026 report. The company ranked highest of any vendor evaluated in the Current Offering category and received the highest possible scores across the Strategy criteria of Innovation and Community. This recognition underscores CrowdStrike's position in the cybersecurity market, particularly as enterprises face AI-accelerated adversaries.

Forrester highlighted that CrowdStrike's AI agents are a clear differentiator, enhancing the analyst experience through a strong approach to testing and validation. The report also noted that customers speak highly of CrowdStrike's acquisition strategy and its ability to integrate acquisitions into a true platform. Recent acquisitions include SGNL for risk-aware, continuous identity security and Seraphic for browser runtime security.

The company's single-sensor, unified platform architecture is designed to support the agentic Security Operations Center (SOC), elevating analysts from alert chasers to orchestrators of intelligent agents. Forrester recognized that CrowdStrike's strongest features come from its native detection surface coverage, especially on the endpoint. As the pioneer of Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), CrowdStrike is establishing AI Detection and Response (AIDR) as a defining security category of the AI era.

CrowdStrike's AIDR business has achieved 250 percent sequential Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) growth in under two quarters. The company focuses on securing AI across every surface it operates: data, models, prompts, agents, identities, infrastructure, and the interaction layer.

"AI has changed how adversaries operate. CrowdStrike has changed how defenders respond," said Elia Zaitsev, chief technology officer, CrowdStrike. "CrowdStrike committed to one sensor, one console, one platform from day one, and that architectural advantage is why we can deliver the agentic SOC today and own AIDR, the defining security category of tomorrow. For us, Forrester's recognition reflects what that foundation makes possible."
