Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security ARR grew 34% YoY to more than $585 million
Continuous Identity for human, non-human, and AI agent identities
Identity is the front line of modern attacks, and legacy security models built on static policies, standing privileges, and one-time authorizations leave it exposed. AI agents operate continuously, at machine speed, often inheriting human permissions, and trust that stops at login cannot govern them. CrowdStrike is driving the shift to Continuous Identity, with real-time, risk-aware authorization across human, non-human, and AI agent identities.
"The modern workforce is both human and agentic. CrowdStrike was built to secure it, replacing static models with Continuous Identity across every identity," said Scott Kriz, GM of Continuous Identity at CrowdStrike. "To us, the strongest validation comes from the defenders who use this technology every day, and they have made Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security a Customers' Choice for identity security in the agentic era."
"The solution provides exceptional real-time visibility into live domain traffic, instantly catching credential abuse, pass-the-hash, and lateral movement without relying on log analysis." – Manager, IT Security and Risk Management, Energy and Utilities
"Falcon identity is worth its weight in gold. The insights and actionable outcomes are helpful within minutes of deployment." – VP, IT Security and Risk Management, Transportation
"Our overall experience with Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security has been very positive. The solution provides deep visibility into identity-based risks across our environment, helping us detect compromised credentials, privilege misuse, and suspicious authentication patterns with high accuracy." – Sr. Security Engineer, Retail
Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security is redefining the market, with ending ARR growing 34% year-over-year to more than $585 million, driven by strength across its product portfolio.
Continuous Identity for Human, Non-Human, and AI Agent Identities: Grants access for every identity the moment it's needed and revokes it the moment it's not, based on real-time risk signals and Falcon platform intelligence.
Establishing Trusted Identities for AI Agents: The CrowdStrike Agentic Identity Provider establishes every AI agent as an identity that cannot be spoofed or shared, brokers only the access needed for as long as needed, and ties every action back to the human or system behind it.
Full Lifecycle Identity Security: CrowdStrike unifies initial access prevention, phishing-resistant MFA, PAM, ITDR, SaaS identity security, and agentic identity protection to stop identity-driven breaches across on-prem, SaaS, cloud, and browser environments. Falcon Guardian extends protection for AI agents at runtime.
