CrowdStrike unveils a major update to its Falcon platform, integrating autonomous AI agents, enterprise data layers, and no-code development tools to transform cybersecurity operations amid emerging AI-driven threats.
CrowdStrike has announced a transformative evolution of its Falcon platform, positioning it at the forefront of what it calls the Agentic Security era. This autumn release, unveiled by CrowdStrike president Michael Sentonas, aims to redefine cybersecurity by harnessing the power of autonomous AI agents—tools that not only assist but actively drive security operations in a rapidly changing technological landscape. According to CrowdStrike, businesses are undergoing a technological transformation as profound as the advent of the internet itself, with artificial intelligence now serving as a fundamental operational model rather than merely a productivity aid. This shift is mirrored by cyber adversaries who exploit AI agents to conduct attacks with unprecedented speed and scale.
Central to the new Falcon platform is Enterprise Graph, described as the richest real-time data layer in the cybersecurity industry. It integrates telemetry data from endpoints, identity systems, cloud workloads, and third-party sources to create a dynamic, living model of an enterprise’s environment. By unifying previously distinct datasets such as Threat Graph, Asset Graph, and Intel Graph, Enterprise Graph forms a comprehensive “knowledge fabric” that facilitates nuanced analysis and precise action. This foundation allows both human defenders and AI agents to operate from a shared, contextual understanding, enhancing threat detection and response capabilities significantly.
Complementing this data backbone is Charlotte AI AgentWorks, promoted as the industry’s first no-code environment for designing, testing, deploying, and orchestrating AI security agents. This innovation empowers security teams—regardless of coding expertise—to build agents tailored to their unique workflows and corporate policies, while maintaining enterprise-grade governance and safety. The platform also includes an ecosystem of pre-built agents from CrowdStrike and trusted partners, covering a wide range of critical security functions. Speaking to the ease of use, analysts can interact with these agents via natural language, streamlining complex security tasks and accelerating decision-making.
Further expanding its AI integration, CrowdStrike has launched the Agent Collaboration Framework. Built upon the Model Context Protocol (MCP), this framework transforms Falcon into a central operational hub for an interconnected ecosystem of AI agents. It securely orchestrates collaboration between CrowdStrike’s own agents, customer-built agents, and third-party solutions, ensuring coordinated defence efforts across an organisation’s entire security infrastructure. Unlike competitor solutions that often rely on brittle connectors and unreliable integrations, CrowdStrike’s framework embeds robust governance and real-time visibility, offering organisations a consolidated and actionable enterprise-wide view of emerging threats.
The platform is completed by a fully redesigned console tailored for the AI era. Leveraging the power of Enterprise Graph and Charlotte AI, this interface delivers dynamic dashboards and personalised reports generated through natural language queries. Whether an end user is an analyst, a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), or an executive, the console adapts to their role, dramatically simplifying complex investigations and compliance monitoring. For example, users can request a “Compliance Drift” dashboard for cloud workloads by simply describing their needs in common language, with the system handling data synthesis and presentation for clear, actionable insights.
CrowdStrike’s advances with Falcon also benefit from strategic partnerships, notably with NVIDIA. The integration of Charlotte AI AgentWorks with NVIDIA’s Nemotron AI models enables sophisticated agent creation without requiring code, while extending protection and governance across the full spectrum of AI agents built within the NeMo developer platform and third-party ecosystems. This collaboration underlines CrowdStrike’s commitment to safely scaling autonomous AI agents across security operations and enterprise applications.
Additionally, CrowdStrike is actively building an “Agentic Security Workforce” by introducing seven new AI agents designed to automate high-impact security workflows within Security Operations Centers (SOCs). Powered by Charlotte AI, these agents handle repetitive tasks and enhance real-time collaboration with human analysts, who can thereby focus on critical strategic decisions. This advancement promises faster investigation times, improved response efficacy, and a significant boost in overall SOC efficiency.
In sum, CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform update reflects a sophisticated blending of AI innovation and pragmatic cybersecurity governance. By operationalising autonomous AI agents within a unified, intelligent ecosystem, the company aims to equip organisations to outpace and outscale increasingly AI-enabled cyber adversaries, marking a pivotal progression into the future of digital defence.
