Insights
The Forrester TEI study reveals compelling financial metrics for CrowdStrike's Falcon Identity Protection solution, demonstrating strong market positioning and revenue potential. The 310% ROI and sub-6-month payback period are particularly attractive for enterprise customers, suggesting robust product-market fit and potential for sustained revenue growth. The
The cost savings element is particularly noteworthy -
For investors, these metrics support CRWD's premium valuation multiples, as they demonstrate both strong product efficacy and clear financial benefits that should translate to sustained growth in annual recurring revenue (ARR) and gross margins.
The technical differentiation highlighted in this study is significant from a competitive standpoint. With 75% of initial access attacks now being malware-free and targeting identity credentials, CRWD's unified platform approach addresses a critical market need. The integration of identity protection with endpoint and cloud security creates substantial technical barriers to entry and competitive advantages.
The real-time detection capabilities demonstrated during penetration testing and the sub-10-minute response times (compared to previous 4-hour windows) represent industry-leading performance metrics. The ability to protect distributed environments across 1,000+ global locations showcases enterprise-grade scalability.
Most notably, the zero-breach track record among interviewed customers is a powerful validation of the technology's effectiveness. This level of protection, combined with the reduction in false positives, positions CRWD favorably against both legacy vendors and emerging competitors in the identity security space.
Of organizations interviewed in independent research firm’s economic impact study, “none said their organization has experienced a breach since acquiring Falcon Identity Protection”
Today’s adversaries are more sophisticated than ever, leveraging advanced tactics to infiltrate environments and remain undetected. Seventy-five percent of attacks to gain initial access are now malware-free, as attackers exploit identity and cloud as trusted entry points to move laterally across systems. Disjointed tools often create gaps in visibility and protection and address only fragments of the identity attack surface. Falcon Identity Protection stops identity-based attacks across the entire attack surface as an integrated module of the CrowdStrike Falcon® cybersecurity platform, delivering unified visibility and protection across identities, cloud and endpoints. The Forrester study revealed that of organizations interviewed, “none said their organization has experienced a breach since acquiring Falcon Identity Protection.”
“Sophisticated adversaries are logging on with compromised credentials instead of breaking in – leveraging identity as a foothold to move laterally and remain undetected,” said Raj Rajamani, head of products at CrowdStrike. “While robust identity protection is essential to modern cybersecurity, identity protection alone is not enough. For us, Forrester’s study validates what customers tell us every day: The power of Falcon Identity Protection and additional best-in-class modules lie in the power of the platform, delivering unified visibility and protection across every attack path.”
Key findings from the Forrester TEI study include:
-
Significant ROI with Advanced Identity Security: Falcon Identity Protection provided benefits of
$1.26 million -
Reduced Operational Costs with Unified Protection: SOC teams consolidate cybersecurity with Falcon Identity Protection, unifying identity, cloud and endpoint security on the Falcon platform, resulting in
$167,000 - Real-Time Detection and Response: Falcon Identity Protection was the first to detect simulated attacks during penetration tests.
-
Enhanced SOC Efficiency: According to the study, interviewees described incident volume declining significantly, sometimes more than
90% . They said some of this is related to the prevention actions taken and some is related to a dramatic reduction in false positives. Falcon Identity Protection enables SOC teams to focus on strategic tasks. Customers reported faster incident resolution, reduced overtime hours and improved work-life balance, driving better retention and operational stability.
