CrowdStrike Named a Customers’ Choice in the 2026 Gartner® Peer Insights™ ‘Voice of the Customer’ for Security Information and Event Management Report

Key Terms

security information and event management technical

A system that collects and analyzes a company’s digital “noise” — such as activity logs, alerts, and network events — to spot security threats, track incidents, and support fast response. Think of it as a centralized security control room that watches cameras and alarms, helps prevent breaches, and keeps records for regulators. Investors care because effective SIEM reduces the risk of costly hacks, downtime, fines, and damage to trust and financial value.

siem technical

SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) is a software system that gathers and analyzes security-related data from across a company's computers and networks to spot suspicious activity, like a central security dashboard that flags and explains alarms from many sensors. For investors it matters because a strong SIEM helps prevent costly breaches, supports regulatory compliance, and can reduce financial and reputational risk; for vendors it can be a key revenue and growth area.

falcon next-gen siem technical

Falcon Next‑Gen SIEM is a modern security monitoring platform that collects and analyzes signals from computers, networks, and cloud services to spot and investigate cyber threats in real time. It automates correlation and prioritization so security teams can respond faster, like an intelligent alarm system that sorts real alerts from background noise. For investors, adoption or sales of such a product indicates lower operational risk, reduced potential breach costs, and a competitive edge in cybersecurity — all factors that can affect a company’s valuation and liability exposure.

endpoint technical

An endpoint in clinical research is the specific outcome investigators decide in advance to measure whether a treatment is effective or safe, such as symptom improvement, survival time, or a change in a lab value. For investors it matters because meeting or missing these pre-set goals is the main signal regulators and the market use to judge a drug’s prospects—like a race’s finish line that determines if a product can move forward, win approval, and generate revenue.

threat intelligence technical

Threat intelligence is actionable information about cyber risks—who might attack, how they operate, and what systems or data are vulnerable—gathered from monitoring networks, software behavior, and public reports. For investors it matters because strong threat intelligence helps a company prevent disruptions, avoid costly breaches and fines, and protect reputation, much like a weather forecast and neighborhood watch help a community prepare for storms and deter crime.

ai-driven analytics technical

AI-driven analytics uses computer algorithms that learn from large amounts of data to spot patterns, make predictions, and generate actionable insights more quickly than a person could. For investors it matters because these tools can highlight opportunities or risks earlier and more consistently—like a smart assistant scanning thousands of reports and charts—helping inform buy/sell decisions while still depending on data quality and assumptions.

indicators of compromise (iocs) technical

Indicators of compromise (IOCs) are digital clues—like suspicious IP addresses, unusual file fingerprints, strange login patterns or unexpected data transfers—that signal a computer system or network may have been breached. For investors, IOCs matter because they help detect and confirm cyber incidents early, allowing companies to respond, estimate operational or regulatory damage, and reduce uncertainty about potential costs, reputation harm, and effects on a company’s value.

soc technical

Standard of care (often abbreviated SOC) is the treatment or management approach that is widely accepted and used by medical professionals for a particular disease or condition. For investors, SOC provides the benchmark against which new therapies, devices, or clinical results are judged—like comparing a new car to the current most popular model; a product that meaningfully outperforms the SOC can win market share and drive revenue, while failure to beat or match it limits commercial potential.
