Frost

Frost is a recognized threat actor in the cybersecurity landscape, embodying potential risks and threats to digital entities. The term "threat actor" refers to an entity that executes actions with malicious intent, which could range from a single person to a private company or part of a government entity. In this context, it's important to note that the cybersecurity industry often uses unique naming conventions with little standardization. Frost & Sullivan, a renowned business consulting firm, has acknowledged CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity technology company, as a growth leader in Managed Detection and Response (MDR). This recognition came as part of their 2024 Frost Radar report, where CrowdStrike was named an "innovator and powerhouse" in the MDR sector. The report highlighted CrowdStrike's unified cloud security approach and powerful workload security capabilities as key factors for this recognition. CrowdStrike has demonstrated impressive growth momentum over recent years, becoming one of the fastest-growing and largest players in terms of revenue in the CNAPP industry in 2023. CrowdStrike's Falcon Cloud Security has been particularly noted for its innovative use of new technologies and extensive threat intelligence to enhance security for cloud environments. Anh Tien Vu, Industry Principal at Frost & Sullivan, lauded CrowdStrike's pioneering role in cloud detection and response (CDR), leveraging its strengths in threat intel and MDR services. Furthermore, CrowdStrike was named a leader in Frost & Sullivan’s Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) Radar for the second consecutive year, underlining its continued excellence and leadership in the field.
