SCATTERED SPIDER, an eCrime adversary, has recently broadened its target scope to include the aviation sector, in addition to its established focus on the insurance and retail industries, as observed by CrowdStrike Services. Throughout Q2 2025, SCATTERED SPIDER's activities have primarily centered on U.S.-based insurance and retail entities, along with U.K.-based retail entities.

The healthcare sector continues to be a prime target for cyber adversaries, with threat actors constantly evolving their tactics to exploit vulnerabilities. Over the past year, CrowdStrike Services responded to a growing number of financially motivated attacks aimed at encrypting data and extorting victims across the healthcare ecosystem.

As organizations adopt hybrid and multi-cloud architectures, the attack surface quickly expands, often outpacing defender’s ability to see and stop threats. This growing complexity fuels risk — creating blind spots adversaries exploit through cloud misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and unpatched vulnerabilities. These conditions allow attackers to break in, move laterally, and gain higher levels of access.

AV-Comparatives, an independent cybersecurity software testing organization, has released the results of two key evaluations of enterprise security solutions. The CrowdStrike Falcon cybersecurity platform achieved the EDR Detection Certification in AV-Comparatives’ inaugural 2025 EDR Detection Validation Test and the AV-Comparatives 2025 Mac Approved Security Award. This independent validation confirms the Falcon platform’s ability to stop breaches across the modern enterprise.

As the attack surface expands and the number of vulnerabilities grows, organizations face a new crisis: how to prioritize which vulnerabilities to fix first based on their level of risk. CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management addresses this challenge with new AI-powered capabilities to help defenders identify what matters most and take action with precision. New innovations include AI-powered Asset Criticality, Client-Side Attack Path Analysis, and a CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM integration.

We’re proud to announce that CrowdStrike has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform 2025 Vendor Assessment (doc, June 2025). This recognition marks another milestone for CrowdStrike as cloud security becomes central to stopping modern cyber threats across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
