A Leader in Exposure Management
The report notes, “Network-based vulnerability scanning was recently added to the platform, reducing the need for customers to have a separate third-party solution.” Network Vulnerability Assessment, now part of Falcon Exposure Management, brings continuous visibility, AI-driven prioritization, and automated remediation to unmanaged network assets. This enables teams to identify and remediate high-risk vulnerabilities in network devices such as routers, switches, and firewalls without requiring additional agents or hardware.
Falcon Exposure Management runs on the same agent, console, and unified data model that powers the Falcon platform. All exposure management data is also sent to CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM so asset information can be correlated to respond to threats.
AI-Native Innovation
CrowdStrike’s integrated, platform-first approach provides exposure visibility, risk prioritization, and automated response across the entire attack surface. This approach, powered by CrowdStrike Threat Graph, Intel Graph, and Asset Graph, enables a single source of truth to correlate risk across domains and prioritize action.
Business environments are growing more complex, and adversaries are becoming more sophisticated. Exposure management tools must provide a unified view across endpoint, cloud, identity, and unmanaged domains and enable organizations to identify, prioritize, and address risks.
Real-time Exposure Assessment
The report notes, “Attack path analysis provides a cross-domain perspective, visualizing how attackers could traverse assets, identities, and cloud resources to reach critical data and supporting proactive risk reduction.” We believe these strengths reinforce our position as the platform of choice for unifying exposure management, risk prioritization, and automated response into a single, modern operating model.
“CrowdStrike is bringing together both proactive exposure management and reactive threat detection and response into the Falcon platform, operating on the same data in the same console — enabling risk prioritization algorithms to help security teams respond to threats efficiently with a focus on what is most critical to the organization,” the IDC MarketScape states.
We believe CrowdStrike’s inclusion as a Leader in the 2025 IDC MarketScape for Exposure Management affirms our growing role in this evolving market. Falcon Exposure Management helps security teams consolidate fragmented vulnerability management (VM), attack surface management (ASM), and cyber asset attack surface management (CAASM) tools into a single, unified solution that discovers, prioritizes, and addresses risk in real time.
The Power of the Platform
Falcon Exposure Management provides broad and continuous visibility across endpoints, cloud, identity, and OT/IoT domains to protect the enterprise attack surface. No scanner infrastructure is required, reducing the complexity and operational overhead of traditional scanning tools.
The report also notes, “CrowdStrike is bringing together both proactive exposure management and reactive threat detection and response into the Falcon platform operating on the same data in the same console, enabling risk prioritization algorithms to help security teams respond to threats efficiently with a focus on what is most critical to the organization.”
Below are some of the critical capabilities CrowdStrike delivers.
The Future of Exposure Management
Falcon Exposure Management delivers. With continuous visibility, real-time prioritization, and automated remediation, it empowers teams to protect their environments without complexity or compromise. We believe this IDC MarketScape recognition affirms that Falcon Exposure Management provides the capabilities organizations need to mitigate risk in real time — before the adversaries act.
“Customers can use the Charlotte AI agents, which work together to find and fix exposures more quickly without human input every step of the way,” the IDC MarketScape states. “These agents empower teams to rapidly research, triage, and respond to exposures without manual effort, helping reduce risk faster and with confidence.”
