Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

Many modern cloud security challenges come down to visibility. The complexity of modern environments, the deluge of alerts, and the lack of relevant context make it difficult for security teams to identify and prioritize threats — and easy for adversaries to slip through undetected.

Complexity has become a defining security challenge as organizations expand across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. In fact, 52% of surveyed organizations ranked multi/hybrid cloud complexity among their top three infrastructure concerns.1 This complexity creates fragmented visibility across cloud providers, workloads, and Kubernetes environments — gaps that adversaries increasingly exploit to move undetected.

Since the launch of CrowdStrike AI Security Services in 2025, our Professional Services team has yet to encounter an organization with an accurate inventory of the AI tools and services in use across its environment. One customer counted 150 agents in its inventory. We found over 500. Another had not approved agentic development at all; we discovered over 70 active agents.

A new IDC Business Value study illustrates the measurable value of cybersecurity platform consolidation: Organizations that standardized on the CrowdStrike Falcon platform achieved up to 441% return on investment over three years, with payback in just four months. IDC conducted in-depth interviews of CrowdStrike customers across industries to assess the Falcon platform’s business value.

The defensive timeline in cybersecurity is changing faster than most organizations are prepared for. For years, defenders operated with an assumption that there would be some delay between vulnerability disclosure and exploitation. That delay created a window for patching, mitigation, and detection. It wasn’t perfect, but it gave security teams time to act. Frontier AI is removing that buffer and changing how organizations must consider cyber risk.
