CrowdStrike and SentinelOne, both leaders in **endpoint detection and response (EDR) and have now expanded into extended detection and response (XDR)**, have embraced a platform strategy focused on consolidating security tools. Their XDR capabilities serve as the foundation for integrating additional products and services. Both companies actively participate in cloud provider marketplaces and have integrated their data into Amazon Security Lake. As competition in cybersecurity intensifies, CrowdStrike and SentinelOne continue to expand through product launches, partnerships, and investments in cybersecurity startups. Unlike Palo Alto Networks, which relies on acquisitions, CrowdStrike and SentinelOne have developed most of their modules in-house, ensuring seamless integration. They face the challenge of convincing security leaders to adopt integrated platforms over "best-of-breed" point solutions.
