George Kurtz says the AI control plane is CrowdStrike’s next security frontier
The AI control plane is emerging as the next contested layer of enterprise security, as autonomous agents spread across endpoints, cloud workloads and identity systems faster than most organizations can inventory them. A year of agent-driven attack activity has replaced the question of which model performs best with a harder one: Who governs the machines […] The post George Kurtz says the AI…
AI is becoming a critical layer in enterprise security as autonomous agents spread across endpoints, cloud workloads, and identity systems, according to George Kurtz, president, CEO, and founder of CrowdStrike. At the Fal.Con conference, CrowdStrike introduced SafeMind, a family of purpose-built security models leveraging Nvidia Corp. technology.
Kurtz emphasized that the industry failed to recognize the importance of advanced AI, frontier-capable AI, for defenders during a recent agentic incident. He highlighted the need for agent governance and purpose-built security models, stating that SafeMind includes both offensive and defensive models operating in a loop to identify and close vulnerabilities.
CrowdStrike's evaluation of SafeMind showed it was 52% better at identifying vulnerabilities than the best frontier model and 98% cheaper. Kurtz envisions an AI control plane where cybersecurity operations can automate mundane tasks, similar to self-driving cars, to keep pace with adversary movements.
