CrowdStrike expands AI Security Services portfolio
Cybersecurity company CrowdStrike has introduced two new services designed to help organisations reduce risks and prevent breaches in the rapidly evolving AI landscape. The two offerings- AI Systems Security Assessment and AI for SecOps Readiness, further expand the company's AI Security Services portfolio. It builds on CrowdStrike's existing AI Red Team Services, introduced last year, to secure AI systems that are integral to modern business operations and ensure the safe adoption of AI within security frameworks. As organisations increasingly utilise large language models (LLMs), copilots, and agentic tools, they encounter new vulnerabilities such as shadow AI, misconfigurations, and autonomous agents with privileged access. Simultaneously, adversaries are leveraging AI to automate reconnaissance and generate sophisticated phishing content. With the new services, CrowdStrike aims to offer expert guidance to navigate these challenges, aiming to secure AI systems and enhance detection and response capabilities within security operations centres (SOCs). The AI Systems Security Assessment service provides organisations with insights into AI usage across their environments, identifying risks and suggesting improvements in governance and protection. The service builds on CrowdStrike's existing capabilities, such as Falcon Shield and Falcon Cloud Security AI-SPM, offering real-time visibility into AI utilisation and potential vulnerabilities. It also includes threat-informed AI testing to assess risks and provides strategic recommendations for improving governance and architecture. Meanwhile, the AI for SecOps Readiness service aims to enable security teams to operate at machine speed in detection, investigation, and response workflows. As adversaries advance with AI, this service helps organisations assess their AI readiness, prioritise use cases, and develop secure AI adoption strategies. It involves evaluating staffing, tooling, and workflows to assess readiness and provides a roadmap for integrating AI tools. CrowdStrike chief global services officer Tom Etheridge said: 'Security teams are under pressure on both sides, to protect rapidly evolving AI systems and to bring AI into the SOC without introducing new risk. 'These services are purpose-built to meet that dual challenge head-on, combining the power of the Falcon platform, threat intelligence, and expert guidance to help organisations reduce risk, improve resilience, and move faster with confidence.' Additionally, CrowdStrike announced the availability of CrowdStrike Signal, an AI-powered detection engine designed to identify threats that might be missed by traditional tools. Signal employs self-learning models to understand normal behaviour across hosts, enabling it to identify subtle threat activities early.

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 Extends AI Agent Security Across the SaaS Stack
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Black Hat USA 2025, Las Vegas – CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced a new integration with the OpenAI ChatGPT Enterprise Compliance API, designed to add visibility and governance for AI agents that are redefining how work gets done. CrowdStrike Falcon® Shield now discovers GPTs and Codex agents created in OpenAI's ChatGPT Enterprise, expanding support for more than 175 SaaS applications. As cybersecurity's platform innovator for the AI era, CrowdStrike helps organizations strengthen governance of AI agent identities and the human identities behind them. As organizations embrace agentic AI to drive automation at scale, an explosion of agents is transforming SaaS environments. Organizations can have limited visibility into what the agents are doing, what systems and data they can access, or who created them. These autonomous agents have non-human identities with persistent privileges and can be hijacked when a human identity is compromised – enabling adversaries to exfiltrate data, manipulate systems, or move laterally across critical business applications. By expanding the number of identities, accelerating access, and increasing the blast radius of a single compromise, these agents are redefining the attack surface. Falcon Shield's integration with ChatGPT Enterprise adds governance for this new layer of AI-driven automation in the SaaS stack – mapping each agent to its human creator, surfacing risky behavior, and helping to enforce policy in real time. Combined with Falcon® Identity Protection, CrowdStrike helps deliver unified visibility and protection across every human and non-human identity – helping organizations strengthen the oversight of AI agents. '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.'
