CrowdStrike
Mellen cited CrowdStrike as a noteworthy XDR provider. She said there have been some interesting acquisitions made in the past year that are meant to help drive forward certain vendors’ XDR offerings, specifically to give vendors log management capabilities or, conversely, endpoint capabilities. Among those is CrowdStrike acquiring Humio for $400 million.
Parizo said CrowdStrike is an EDR/XDR heavyweight.
And Mikita Hanets, industry analyst with Frost & Sullivan, said vendors like CrowdStrike challenge the position of well-established companies like Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, and Cisco.
