AUSTIN, Texas - CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), the cybersecurity giant with a market capitalization of nearly $90 billion and impressive revenue growth of 29% year-over-year, has introduced a new Network Vulnerability Assessment capability to its Falcon Exposure Management suite, aiming to modernize vulnerability management by integrating AI-driven risk prioritization directly into network devices. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company is currently trading above its Fair Value, reflecting strong investor confidence in its growth trajectory. This new feature, which is now generally available, allows security teams to assess vulnerabilities in real-time on network devices such as routers, switches, and firewalls without the need for additional scanners or hardware.

The latest offering from CrowdStrike leverages the single-agent architecture of the Falcon platform to replace outdated vulnerability management tools. The company, maintaining a healthy gross profit margin of 75% and strong liquidity position, claims that this approach not only simplifies security operations but also enhances risk models by focusing on adversary behavior rather than static Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) scores.

In an effort to showcase the benefits of their platform-driven exposure management, CrowdStrike is providing its customers with free scanning for up to 10% of their assets.

According to CrowdStrike’s chief technology officer, Elia Zaitsev, the integration of network scanning into the Falcon platform responds to strong customer demand for replacing legacy solutions. Zaitsev emphasizes that the Falcon platform’s built-in industry intelligence and patented AI eliminate the need for external threat feeds that are typically required for risk prioritization.

The 2025 CrowdStrike Global Threat Report indicates that attackers are increasingly exploiting multiple vulnerabilities in a sequence to carry out attacks, a method that traditional tools often overlook. CrowdStrike’s solution aims to address this gap by enabling security teams to prioritize vulnerabilities based on actual adversary activity and potential attack paths.

The Falcon Exposure Management tool also offers AI-driven risk prioritization, a unified view of exposures across different domains, and automated remediation capabilities through Falcon Fusion SOAR. This is part of CrowdStrike’s broader strategy to provide comprehensive protection across all areas of enterprise risk, including endpoints, cloud, identity, and data. The company’s strong financial health score of 2.71 (rated as GOOD by InvestingPro) and robust current ratio of 1.77 suggest it has the resources to continue investing in product innovation.

This announcement is based on a press release statement from CrowdStrike.

Despite these strong financial metrics, Stifel adjusted its price target for CrowdStrike to $435 from $475, while maintaining a Buy rating. Truist Securities also reaffirmed its Buy rating with a price target of $460, indicating confidence in CrowdStrike’s market position and strategy.
