NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

CrowdStrike has set the standard for securing the fastest-growing attack surface in the modern enterprise: AI itself. Through organic innovation, strategic acquisitions, and industry partnerships, the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform delivers complete protection across customers’ AI infrastructure — securing the environments where AI runs, the identities that govern it, and the interactions that drive it.

GA of Falcon AIDR
In December 2025, CrowdStrike announced the general availability of Falcon AIDR, extending the Falcon platform to secure the frontier security challenge of prompt injection. Adversaries are injecting hidden instructions into GenAI tools to weaponize the very systems transforming how work gets done. Falcon AIDR secures every prompt, response, and agent action in real time, delivering detection of injection attacks and data leaks with up to 99% efficacy.

In just weeks after launch, AIDR became one of CrowdStrike’s most in-demand products, growing more than 5x quarter-over-quarter (fiscal 4Q26).

SGNL Acquisition
In February 2026, CrowdStrike acquired SGNL, transforming identity security for the AI era. SGNL brings continuous, real-time authorization and zero-standing privilege enforcement across human, non-human, and AI agent identities. In a world where AI agents operate with autonomy and superhuman speed, static permissions no longer work. Continuous, risk-aware enforcement is essential.

Seraphic Acquisition
Also in February 2026, CrowdStrike acquired Seraphic to secure AI execution where work happens: live browser sessions. As AI agents interact with SaaS applications and enterprise data through the browser, Seraphic delivers runtime controls during execution — preventing data exfiltration and unauthorized actions inside active sessions.

By securing identity, interaction, and execution on a single cloud-native architecture, the CrowdStrike Falcon platform delivers complete protection across customers’ AI infrastructure.

Industry Validation
The world’s leading AI innovators, including AWS, CoreWeave, NVIDIA, and Salesforce, deepened partnerships with CrowdStrike to secure AI innovation across the enterprise ecosystem.

CrowdStrike is also the only pure-play cybersecurity vendor selected for both Anthropic’s Project Glasswing and the OpenAI Trusted Access for Cyber program from day one — a distinction that reflects the depth of trust frontier labs place in the Falcon platform.

CrowdStrike also launched Project QuiltWorks, an industry-wide coalition built to assess, prioritize, and continuously remediate the wave of vulnerabilities in production code now being discovered by frontier AI models.

Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA: “AI will also supercharge cybersecurity challenges…We need an incredible defender. I can’t imagine a better defender than CrowdStrike.”

CrowdStrike is not just securing AI. It is defining the blueprint for how AI should be secured.
