CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) has achieved perfect scores in the 2024 SE Labs Enterprise Advanced Security (EDR) Ransomware Test, demonstrating 100% detection, protection, and accuracy. The company's Falcon platform successfully stopped all known and unknown threats with zero false positives in what's described as the largest real-world ransomware test.

The evaluation simulated real-world attacks from 15 ransomware families, testing 443 ransomware files, with one-third being original samples and two-thirds comprising new, zero-day variants. The test included sophisticated attack scenarios, including credential theft and lateral movement techniques.
