défendre sa position
Un peu plus loin de la lettre du texte source (peut-être mal exprimée?), mais être le premier et défendre sa position me paraît une suite logique en français

: Ça sonne très bien et j'ai failli approuver, MAIS 'revendiquer' implique et signifie une lutte pour un droit ou qqc qu'on N'A PAS. Ici si la personne atteint la 1ère place, elle lui est déjà acquise. Y'a donc RIEN à revendiquer... :)

I think the idea is to affirm their position (which is for the moment hypothetical!) in order to fight off later competition.

Je pense qu'il faut tourner autrement en français. Une partie du sens étant à mon avis que rien ne sert d'être premier si personne ne le sait ou si on ne défend pas sa position, je pense qu'on peut utiliser quelque chose comme :
Dans la course au cloud, il est important de s'assurer la première place et de le faire savoir.

: Un peu longuet mais j'aime bien 's'assurer la 1ère place'. J'ajouterais '..et de la défendre' ou '... et de s'y accrocher'. :)

: Yes, but by extension, it has also come to mean "... and fight off anyone who might challenge your 'territory'", which is the meaning here, I believe.
