CrowdStrike Unveils Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security, the First Unified Solution to Protect Every Identity Across the Attack Chain
CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen Identity Security, the first unified solution to protect every identity – human, non-human, and AI agent – across the full hybrid identity lifecycle and every environment. Delivered today, without delays or integration complexity through the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon® platform, the new offering protects identities across on-premises, cloud, SaaS, and workloads, removing security blind spots and replacing fragmented controls. CrowdStrike unifies initial access prevention, modern privileged access management (PAM), identity threat detection and response (ITDR), SaaS identity security, and agentic identity protection to stop identity-driven breaches across domains. 'Organizations need trusted identity security now, not months or years from now. CrowdStrike provides what customers need most in a unified platform: modern identity security by design, without architectural trade-offs and integration debt," said Mike Sentonas, president, CrowdStrike. "Access in today's enterprise is dynamic and unpredictable, with identities spanning users, machines, and AI agents operating across hybrid environments in real time. The Falcon platform was built to manage this complexity, providing the speed, scale, and precision organizations need to stop modern identity attacks.' Identity has become the primary path adversaries take to compromise an organization. Attackers increasingly exploit a broad spectrum of identities that span human users, service accounts (non-human identities), SaaS credentials, and now, autonomous AI agents. Each agent represents a superhuman identity with persistent access to systems, applications, and sensitive data. These non-human agent identities dramatically increase the size and severity of the attack surface: more identities across more environments, more privileges across more workflows, and more opportunity for adversaries to move faster than defenders can respond. Modern adversaries exploit this access to move seamlessly across domains – endpoint, identity, cloud, and SaaS – leaving organizations that rely on traditional IAM and legacy PAM tools exposed to cross-domain attacks. Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security closes the gaps that adversaries exploit with a unified solution that delivers continuous protection across identity types (human, non-human and AI agent), environments, and stages of the identity attack chain. From initial access to lateral movement, CrowdStrike protects human, non-human, and AI agents across hybrid environments, including on-prem, cloud, and SaaS. Powered by CrowdStrike's agentic AI, organizations gain autonomous threat analysis and response that helps them detect, investigate, and stop identity-based attacks in real time, through a single unified platform. Organizations can immediately strengthen their security posture without waiting for promised integrations, or accepting identity capabilities fragmented across multiple platforms that replicate the same complexity and security gaps as multi-vendor solutions. Delivered through a single lightweight sensor and managed from a single console, CrowdStrike gives defenders real-time visibility, dynamic access enforcement, and autonomous response across every identity and every domain. CrowdStrike's Unified Platform for Securing Every Identity Across Hybrid Environments Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security unifies four core capabilities to deliver end-to-end visibility, control, and protection of identities, privileges, and risk across the full attack chain in hybrid identity environments: Initial Access Prevention: Leverages real-time endpoint signals, industry-leading threat intelligence, and AI trained on trillions of events to authenticate trusted identities, dynamically blocking threats before adversaries can gain initial access. Modern Privileged Access Management (PAM): Enforces just-in-time access and eliminates standing privileges. Dynamically adjusts access based on real-time risk to secure sensitive systems across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR): Detects and stops identity-based attacks in real time. Uses cross-domain telemetry and agentic AI to triage threats, enforce policy, and block lateral movement and privilege escalation. SaaS Identity Security: Identifies misconfigurations, flags risky behaviors, and governs overprovisioned access – for humans, non-human identities, and AI agents – across cloud-first applications. Delivered through the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security replaces fragmented tools and disconnected workflows. Security teams gain real-time visibility, dynamic enforcement, and autonomous response across every identity and every domain. With rapid deployment and immediate time-to-value, organizations can strengthen their identity security posture today, without waiting for integrations or accepting security gaps. About CrowdStrike CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), a global cybersecurity leader, has redefined modern security with the world's most advanced cloud-native platform for protecting critical areas of enterprise risk – endpoints and cloud workloads, identity and data. Powered by the CrowdStrike Security Cloud and world-class AI, the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform leverages real-time indicators of attack, threat intelligence, evolving adversary tradecraft and enriched telemetry from across the enterprise to deliver hyper-accurate detections, automated protection and remediation, elite threat hunting and prioritized observability of vulnerabilities. Purpose-built in the cloud with a single lightweight-agent architecture, the Falcon platform delivers rapid and scalable deployment, superior protection and performance, reduced complexity and immediate time-to-value.

Amplitude Announces Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Amplitude, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMPL), the leading digital analytics platform, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2025. "Q2 was a strong quarter. We delivered the highest net-new ARR in nearly three years and saw record multi-product adoption," said Spenser Skates, CEO and co-founder of Amplitude. "This progress reflects our deliberate focus on the enterprise and platform expansion strategy. We're still early in the opportunity, and AI will be a key part of how we drive value going forward." Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights: (in millions, except per share and percentage amounts) Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share exclude expenses related to stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes and amortization of acquired intangible assets. Stock-based compensation expense and the related employer payroll taxes were $25.3 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $23.3 million in the second quarter of 2024. Free cash flow is GAAP net cash provided by operating activities, less cash used for purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software costs. The section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below contains a description of the non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of historical GAAP to non-GAAP information are presented in the accompanying tables. Second Quarter and Recent Business Highlights: Named a Leader and a Customer Favorite in The Forrester Wave™: Digital Analytics Solutions, Q3 2025 report. Amplitude received the highest 'Current Offering' category score of all vendors in the report, as well as the highest scores possible in 21 criteria. Ranked #1 in eight categories in G2's Summer 2025 report, including the top spot in Product Analytics for the 20th quarter in a row. Announced the beta launch of Amplitude AI Agents, which are designed to automate product management tasks like monitoring data, spotting patterns and changes, watching user sessions, forming hypotheses, running experiments, shipping changes, and monitoring impact. Released a suite of new marketing capabilities designed to allow teams to easily see what drives conversions and lifetime value (LTV), confidently measure return on ad spend, and more precisely target audiences with relevant messaging. Welcomed teams from Kraftful, Inari, and June to accelerate AI innovation. Annual Recurring Revenue was $335 million, an increase of 16% year-over-year and an increase of $15 million compared to the first quarter of 2025. GAAP Net Loss per share was $0.19, based on 131.4 million shares, compared to a loss of $0.19 per share, based on 122.6 million shares, in the second quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) per share was $0.01, based on 140.2 million diluted shares, compared to $(0.00) per share, based on 122.6 million basic shares, in the second quarter of 2024. Cash Flow from Operations was $20.1 million, a $10.9 million increase year-over-year. Free Cash Flow was $18.2 million, a $11.4 million increase year-over-year. The number of customers with $100,000 or greater in ARR increased to 634, or 16% year-over-year growth. Financial Outlook: The third quarter and full year 2025 outlook information provided below is based on Amplitude's current estimates and is not a guarantee of future performance. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Refer to the 'Forward-Looking Statements' section below for information on the factors that could cause Amplitude's actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. For the third quarter and full year 2025, the Company expects: An outlook for GAAP income (loss) from operations, GAAP net income (loss), GAAP net income (loss) per share and a reconciliation of expected non-GAAP income (loss) from operations to GAAP income (loss) from operations, expected non-GAAP net income (loss) to GAAP net income (loss), and expected non-GAAP net income (loss) per share to GAAP net income (loss) per share have not been provided as the quantification of certain items included in the calculation of GAAP income (loss) from operations, GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP net income (loss) per share cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time without unreasonable efforts. For example, the non-GAAP adjustment for stock-based compensation expense requires additional inputs such as the number and value of awards granted that are not currently ascertainable, and the non-GAAP adjustment for amortization of acquired intangible assets depends on the timing and value of intangible assets acquired that cannot be accurately forecasted. Conference Call Information: Amplitude will host a live video webcast to discuss its financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2025, as well as the financial outlook for its third quarter and full year 2025 today at 2:00 PM Pacific Time / 5:00 PM Eastern Time. Interested parties may access the webcast, earnings press release, and investor presentation on the events section of Amplitude's investor relations website at A replay will be available in the same location a few hours after the conclusion of the live webcast. Forward-Looking Statements: This press release contains express and implied "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the Company's financial outlook for the third quarter and full year 2025, the opportunity for the use of AI to drive value for the Company going forward, the Company's growth strategy and business aspirations and its market position and market opportunity. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as 'may,' 'should,' 'could,' 'predict,' 'potential,' 'believe,' 'expect,' 'continue,' 'will,' 'anticipate,' 'seek,' 'estimate,' 'intend,' 'plan,' 'projection,' 'would,' and 'outlook,' or the negative version of those words or phrases or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact, and are based on current expectations, estimates, and projections about the Company's industry as well as certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond the Company's control. These statements are subject to numerous uncertainties and risks that could cause actual results, performance, or achievement to differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the statements, including risks related to: the Company's limited operating history and rapid growth over the last several years, which makes it difficult to forecast the Company's future results of operations; the Company's history of losses; any decline in the Company's customer retention or expansion of its commercial relationships with existing customers or an inability to attract new customers; expected fluctuations in the Company's financial results, making it difficult to project future results; the Company's focus on sales to larger organizations and potentially increased dependency on those relationships, which may increase the variability of the Company's sales cycles and results of operations; downturns or upturns in new sales, which may not be immediately reflected in the Company's results of operations and may be difficult to discern; unfavorable conditions in the Company's industry or the global economy, including as a result of the imposition of tariffs or other trade protection measures, or reductions in information technology spending, which could limit the Company's ability to grow its business; the market for SaaS applications, which may develop more slowly than the Company expects or decline; the Company's intellectual property rights, which may not protect its business or provide the Company with a competitive advantage; and evolving privacy and other data-related laws; and the impact of sanctions related to Russia on the Company's ability to collect receivables. Additional risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements are or will be included under the caption "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in the reports and other documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q being filed at or around the date hereof. The forward-looking statements made in this press release relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this press release to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. Non-GAAP Financial Measures: This press release includes financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating the Company's ongoing operational performance. The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company's financial results with other companies in the industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures versus comparable financial measures determined under GAAP. For example, other companies in the Company's industry may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance. In addition, free cash flow does not reflect the Company's future contractual commitments and the total increase or decrease of its cash balance for a given period. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures below. Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Non-GAAP Operating Expenses, Non-GAAP Income (Loss) from Operations, Non-GAAP Operating Margin, Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss), and Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) per Share. The Company defines these non-GAAP financial measures as their respective GAAP measures, excluding expenses related to stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and non-recurring costs such as restructuring and other related charges. The Company excludes stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, which is a non-cash expense, from certain of its non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that excluding this item provides meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance. The Company excludes amortization of intangible assets, which is a non-cash expense, related to business combinations from certain of its non-GAAP financial measures because such expenses are related to business combinations and have no direct correlation to the operation of the Company's business. Although the Company excludes these expenses from certain non-GAAP financial measures, the revenue from acquired companies subsequent to the date of acquisition is reflected in these measures and the acquired intangible assets contribute to the Company's revenue generation. The Company excludes non-recurring costs from certain of its non-GAAP financial measures because such expenses do not repeat period-over-period and are not reflective of the ongoing operation of the Company's business. The Company uses non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share in conjunction with its traditional GAAP measures to evaluate the Company's financial performance. The Company believes that these measures provide its management, board of directors, and investors consistency and comparability with its past financial performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons of operations. Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin. The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less cash used for purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software costs. Free cash flow margin is calculated as free cash flow divided by total revenue. The Company believes that free cash flow and free cash flow margin are useful indicators of liquidity that provide its management, board of directors, and investors with information about its future ability to generate or use cash to enhance the strength of its balance sheet and further invest in its business and pursue potential strategic initiatives. Definitions of Business Metrics: Annual Recurring Revenue The Company defines Annual Recurring Revenue ('ARR') as the annual recurring revenue of subscription agreements at a point in time based on the terms of customers' contracts, including certain premium services that are subject to contractual subscription terms and Plus customers that we expect to recur. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue, and does not represent the Company's GAAP revenue on an annualized basis, as it is an operating metric that can be impacted by contract start and end dates and renewal rates. ARR is also not intended to be a forecast of revenue. Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate The Company calculates dollar-based net retention rate as of a period end by starting with the ARR from the cohort of all customers as of 12 months prior to such period-end (the 'Prior Period ARR'). The Company then calculates the ARR from these same customers as of the current period-end (the 'Current Period ARR'). Current Period ARR includes any expansion and is net of contraction or attrition over the last 12 months, but excludes ARR from new customers as well as any overage charges in the current period. The Company then divides the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at the dollar-based net retention rate ("NRR"). The Company then calculates the average of the trailing 12-month dollar-based net retention rates, to arrive at the dollar-based net retention rate ('NRR (TTM)').

The Truth about ChatGPT Agent : Game-Changer or a Glitchy Gimmick?
What if the tool you trusted to simplify your life ended up complicating it instead? That's the paradox many users are discovering with ChatGPT's much-anticipated AI Agent. Marketed as a innovative step in task automation, this feature promises to handle everything from deep research to booking your next vacation. Yet, behind the sleek branding lies a tool that's sparking heated debates. While some hail it as a glimpse into the future of AI, others are frustrated by its glitches, inefficiencies, and glaring security concerns. Is the AI Agent a new innovation or an overhyped experiment that's not quite ready for prime time? In this exploration, Skill Leap AI unpack the truth about ChatGPT's AI Agent—its potential, pitfalls, and the real-world implications of relying on it for complex tasks. You'll discover how it works, where it stumbles, and why it's raising eyebrows among both casual users and tech enthusiasts. From its ambitious claims of seamless automation to the frustrations of inconsistent outputs, this deep dive will help you decide whether the AI Agent is a tool worth embracing—or one to approach with caution. After all, the line between innovation and inconvenience is often thinner than it seems. AI Agent Limitations What Are AI Agents? AI Agents are sophisticated tools developed to handle complex, multi-step tasks that typically require human intervention. These tasks include conducting in-depth research, filling out forms, interacting with websites, and generating reports or presentations. By combining multiple functionalities into a single system, the AI Agent aims to reduce manual workload and improve overall efficiency. For example, it can audit your Google Calendar, book hotels, or create spreadsheets with minimal user input. However, despite its ambitious objectives, the AI Agent often struggles to deliver consistent results. Tasks that should be simplified by automation frequently encounter errors, delays, or incomplete outputs, leaving users questioning its reliability. While the concept of an all-in-one automation tool is appealing, the current execution leaves much to be desired. Performance Challenges One of the most significant drawbacks of the AI Agent is its inefficiency in performing tasks. Instead of simplifying workflows, the feature often complicates them. For instance, tasks like researching business formation processes or booking travel accommodations can take far longer than expected. Booking a hotel, for example, might require up to 25 minutes, with frequent interruptions caused by errors or extended processing times. Additionally, the outputs generated by the AI Agent are often poorly formatted or less effective compared to results achieved using standard ChatGPT tools. These performance issues undermine the feature's primary goal of saving time and effort. Users who expect seamless automation are often left frustrated by the tool's inability to meet basic expectations. OpenAI ChatGPT Agent Review Watch this video on YouTube. Take a look at other insightful guides from our broad collection that might capture your interest in AI Agents. Security Concerns Data security is another critical issue associated with the AI Agent. To perform certain tasks, the feature requires access to personal accounts and sensitive information, which introduces potential risks. The virtual browser setup, while innovative, comes with warnings about malicious websites, further eroding user trust. The lack of robust safeguards to protect sensitive data is a significant concern. Users are advised to exercise caution when granting permissions or sharing confidential information. Until stronger security measures are implemented, the AI Agent's reliance on personal data will remain a barrier to widespread adoption. Use Cases and Limitations The AI Agent demonstrates potential in specific scenarios, but its limitations are hard to ignore. Tasks such as creating presentations or auditing schedules can often be accomplished using existing ChatGPT features without the need for the agent mode. This redundancy raises questions about the feature's necessity for many users. Moreover, frequent errors and an underdeveloped interface detract from its usability. Instead of simplifying workflows, the AI Agent often introduces additional complications, leaving users feeling frustrated rather than empowered. While the tool has potential, its current state makes it difficult to justify its inclusion in high-tier subscription plans. User Experience and Usability The overall user experience is hindered by long processing times, frequent glitches, and inconsistent outputs. These issues make the AI Agent feel more like a beta test than a polished product. For a feature included in premium subscription plans, such as the $200/month option, users expect a seamless and efficient experience. Unfortunately, the AI Agent falls short of these expectations, leading to disappointment among early adopters. The lack of a user-friendly interface further compounds the problem. Navigating the AI Agent's features can be cumbersome, and the frequent need for manual intervention undermines its purpose as an automation tool. For many users, the time spent troubleshooting the AI Agent outweighs any potential benefits it might offer. Pricing and Value The AI Agent is available as part of ChatGPT's premium subscription plans, but its value proposition is questionable given its current limitations. Users paying for higher-tier plans anticipate significant improvements over standard tools. However, the AI Agent often underdelivers, making it difficult to justify the additional cost. Simpler and more reliable alternatives are readily available, further diminishing the appeal of the AI Agent. Until the feature undergoes significant improvements, its inclusion in premium plans may feel like an unnecessary expense for many users. Future Potential Despite its current shortcomings, the AI Agent holds promise as a tool for automating complex tasks. Developers have acknowledged the existing inefficiencies and security risks and are actively working to refine the technology. If these improvements materialize, the AI Agent could become a valuable asset for users seeking to streamline their workflows. However, as of now, the feature remains an overhyped tool that struggles to meet user expectations. For those considering the AI Agent, it is essential to weigh its potential benefits against its current limitations. While the concept is promising, the execution still requires significant refinement to deliver on its ambitious goals.
