As organizations race to adopt generative AI (GenAI) to drive efficiency and innovation, they face a new and urgent security challenge. While AI-driven tools and large language models (LLMs) open vast opportunities, they also introduce unique vulnerabilities that adversaries are quick to exploit. From data exposure to supply-chain risks, the potential for threats to AI systems is growing just as fast as the technology itself.

Today, at the inaugural Fal.Con Europe, I’m excited to announce CrowdStrike’s agreement to acquire SaaS security leader Adaptive Shield. This acquisition will propel CrowdStrike to become the only cybersecurity vendor to provide full protection against identity-based attacks across the modern cloud ecosystem — from on-premises Active Directory to cloud-based identity providers and the growing landscape of SaaS applications — through a single unified platform.

This week, Gartner released its 2024 Gartner Critical Capabilities Report for Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP) as a companion to last month’s 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms. We’re proud to share that CrowdStrike received the highest score in both the Core Endpoint Protection and Managed Security Services Use Cases in the 2024 Gartner Critical Capabilities Report for Endpoint Protection Platforms for the second consecutive time.

CrowdStrike is proud to announce cloud security support for Google Cloud’s first custom ARM-based processor, Axion, delivered by the unified, cloud-native CrowdStrike Falcon platform. This extends industry-leading protection to our customers with extensive coverage for Google Cloud environments. We are excited to collaborate with Google Cloud, which today unveils its new C4A Virtual Machines.

Cloud workloads — and containers in particular — are often seen as immutable entities with predictable behavior. But recent CrowdStrike research suggests that some cloud security solutions rely too much on this premise, leading to suboptimal detection outcomes. CrowdStrike observes billions of container events each day. The data we collect gives us insights into real-world cloud workload behavior, which challenges these assumptions.
