CrowdStrike & OpenAI enhance SaaS security with AI agent oversight
CrowdStrike has announced a new integration with OpenAI aimed at improving security and governance for AI agents used throughout the software-as-a-service (SaaS) landscape. The company's Falcon Shield product now features integration with the OpenAI ChatGPT Enterprise Compliance API, providing the ability to discover and manage both GPT and Codex agents created within OpenAI's ChatGPT Enterprise environment. This expansion supports more than 175 SaaS applications, addressing the increasing use of agentic AI in business operations. AI and the expanding attack surface As enterprises leverage AI agents to automate workflows and increase efficiency, the number of such agents is rising rapidly. CrowdStrike highlighted that while these agents deliver operational benefits, they also introduce new security challenges. Organisations may struggle to monitor agent activities, understand the data and systems these agents can access, and determine who is responsible for creating or controlling them. Autonomous AI agents frequently operate with non-human identities and persistent privileges. If a human identity associated with such an agent is compromised, there is potential for adversaries to use the agent to exfiltrate data, manipulate systems, or move across key business applications undetected. The proliferation of these agents increases the attack surface and can significantly amplify the impact of a security incident. Enhanced visibility and governance Falcon Shield's new capabilities are intended to help organisations address these risks by mapping each AI agent to its human creator, identifying risky behaviour, and aiding real-time policy enforcement. When combined with the company's Falcon Identity Protection, CrowdStrike's platform aims for unified visibility and protection for both human and non-human identities. "AI agents are emerging as superhuman identities, with the ability to access systems, trigger workflows, and operate at machine speed," said Elia Zaitsev, chief technology officer, CrowdStrike. "As these agents multiply across SaaS environments, they're reshaping the enterprise attack surface, and are only as secure as the human identities behind them. Falcon Shield and Falcon Identity Protection help secure this new layer of identity to prevent exploitation." Key features of the Falcon Shield integration include the discovery of embedded AI tools such as GPTs and Codex agents across various platforms, including ChatGPT Enterprise, Microsoft 365, Snowflake, and Salesforce. This is designed to give security teams increased visibility into AI agent proliferation within an organisation's digital environment. Accountability and threat containment The integration links each AI agent to its respective human creator. According to CrowdStrike, this supports greater accountability and enables organisations to trace access and manage privileges using contextual information. Falcon Identity Protection works alongside these capabilities to further secure human identities associated with AI agent activity. CrowdStrike stated that the system is capable of analysing identity, application, and data context to flag risks such as overprivileged agents, GPTs with sensitive abilities, and any unusual activity. Threats can be contained automatically using Falcon Fusion, the company's no-code security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) engine, which can block risky access, disable compromised agents, and trigger response workflows as required. Unified protection approach The product suite combines Falcon Shield, Falcon Identity Protection, and Falcon Cloud Security to provide what the company describes as end-to-end visibility and control over AI agent activity, tracking actions from the person who created an agent to the cloud systems it is able to access. Organisations using agentic AI in their operations are being encouraged to consider tools and approaches that not only monitor the agents themselves but also strengthen oversight of the human identities behind these digital entities.

CrowdStrike Signal Delivers the Next Evolution of AI-Powered Threat Detection
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Black Hat USA 2025, Las Vegas -- CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced the general availability of CrowdStrike Signal, a new class of AI-powered detection engines that surface the undetectable threats others miss – before they escalate. Signal uses self-learning models for every host to understand what's normal in that environment across time, systems, and users. It pinpoints subtle, early-stage threat activity and connects related behaviors – before traditional tools act. By identifying weak signals that deviate from the norm and building high-confidence, prioritized leads, Signal accelerates the Falcon® platform's AI advantage and empowers security teams to investigate, hunt, and stop threats earlier in the kill chain. Modern attacks often begin with low-signal activity that appears benign in isolation. Traditional rule-based systems ignore these behaviors because they lack the context to tell what's suspicious and what's just noise. Even newer AI approaches apply scoring only after a detection has occurred. Signal learns what's normal across the environment and continuously updates its understanding of standard activity as conditions change – identifying what deviates and linking early-stage behaviors with downstream activity. By analyzing behavior earlier in the threat lifecycle and correlating subtle activity across time, CrowdStrike turns fragmented signals into a small number of prioritized, AI-generated leads that expose threats buried in the noise and jumpstart response. Born on the endpoint, Signal lays the foundation for next-generation detection across identity, cloud, and third-party data. 'CrowdStrike pioneered AI-native cybersecurity, and continues to deliver the innovation driving the industry forward. Signal is our latest breakthrough, built to detect how modern adversaries actually operate,' said Elia Zaitsev, chief technology officer, CrowdStrike. 'Today's attackers spread subtle signals over time to stay under the radar. Signal is designed to catch what others overlook, connecting the dots across systems and time to paint the full picture.' Signal Through the Noise Behind Signal is a new family of statistical time series models that analyze billions of daily events within each customer's environment. By linking signals across time and systems, Signal filters out repetitive activity and surfaces what's truly unusual. This correlation builds high-confidence patterns that reveal stealthy attacker behavior before others can, giving defenders a clear starting point to act. Self-learning AI to Understand the Customer Environment: Signal continuously models behavior for each user, host, and process, adapting over time to surface meaningful deviations. Unlike static rules or pre-trained models, it delivers early-stage detection without manual configuration or constant adjustment. Real-time Detection of Stealthy Tradecraft Others Miss: Signal links subtle behaviors often used by attackers – but also commonly seen on benign hosts – such as the use of living-off-the-land tools for reconnaissance or applications running from temporary directories. This low-signal activity may appear benign in isolation, but analyzed earlier, over time and context, it reveals attacker activity that would otherwise go unnoticed. High-confidence Leads Reduce Alert Volume, Accelerate Response: Signal condenses a vast number of behaviors and detections into a small set of high-fidelity leads. It surfaces early indicators of compromise, reduces false positives, and groups related activity into a single starting point to eliminate manual triage and speed investigation, hunting, and response. CrowdStrike Signal is now generally available. To learn more, read our blog or stop by the CrowdStrike Black Hat booth #2733.
