CrowdStrike today announced it has been named Frost & Sullivan's 2026 Global Enabling Technology Leader in Zero Trust Browser Security. The browser has become the operating environment for modern work, where employees access email, SaaS applications, collaboration tools, customer data, and AI services. All this activity makes the browser a high-value target for attackers – sitting between users, identities, applications, and sensitive enterprise data.

CrowdStrike delivers unparalleled visibility and control across all browser types, including Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, and emerging AI browsers. Falcon Secure Access defines a new model for secure access, enforcing protection directly within any browser runtime. This allows users to work in their browser of choice while eliminating the latency of network routing – turning any browser into a secure enterprise browser without forcing change or slowing productivity.
The cybersecurity industry has long grappled with the challenge of securing browser-based activity without degrading performance or user experience. Falcon Secure Access addresses this challenge through a groundbreaking innovation: a JavaScript runtime security module injected at the engine level, rather than relying on traditional browser extensions. Frost & Sullivan stated: "This disruptive model redefines browser security, and positions CrowdStrike as a catalyst for change in the global Zero Trust Browser Security market."
CrowdStrike secures how GenAI applications and agents are accessed through the browser, preventing shadow AI from scraping or exfiltrating sensitive data. Frost noted how the "ability to secure AI browsers and Electron apps (e.g., VS Code GPT integration) at the engine level addresses blind spots in traditional SASE/CASB models." Falcon Secure Access also secures both managed and unmanaged devices, and supports mobile and desktop environments.
Elia Zaitsev, chief technology officer at CrowdStrike, stated: "Forcing users into a dedicated browser or routing traffic through a proxy is not a security strategy; it's a tax on productivity. By enforcing protection directly within any browser runtime, Falcon Secure Access delivers the flexibility the workforce demands and the security the business requires. This is browser security built for the modern enterprise."
Falcon Secure Access and the Falcon platform deliver on the company's vision of stopping breaches by integrating with its Zero Trust Score, malware scanning, SaaS Security (SSPM), identity security, and SIEM telemetry. Combined with technology from CrowdStrike's acquisition of SGNL, Falcon Secure Access advances CrowdStrike's Next-Gen Identity Security strategy.
