CrowdStrike Unveils Falcon Guardian to Secure AI Agents Where They Execute: On the Endpoint at Runtime

About this update from Crowdstrike Holdings, Inc.

The endpoint is the control point for AI agent security – CrowdStrike's structural advantage drives the innovation that defines it AUSTIN, Texas & LAS VEGAS, September 01, 2026 --( BUSINESS WIRE )--Fal.Con 2026, Las Vegas-- CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today introduced Falcon® Guardian , the new AI Detection and Response (AIDR) solution delivering complete visibility and runtime enforcement from the endpoint, where AI agents execute and across the enterprise. Deployed across hundreds of millions of devices, CrowdStrike has more endpoint real estate than anyone. That structural advantage now defines AI agent security. "CrowdStrike pioneered EDR by making the endpoint the control point for stopping attacks. AI demands the same approach," said George Kurtz, CEO and founder of CrowdStrike. "AI hasn't changed the attack, it has changed its speed. Governance alone can't stop an agent already in motion. Falcon Guardian turns policy into protection, stopping threats where AI agents execute and before they can cause harm." The Control Point for AI Security The industry is already seeing what happens when autonomy outpaces authority. As AI agents gain system-level privilege, the endpoint is where they reason, plan, and execute – accessing sensitive data and triggering downstream workflows with behavior indistinguishable from legitimate user activity. Posture tells you what could go wrong. Governance shrinks it. Only runtime stops what is going wrong. The endpoint is the only enforcement point with complete execution visibility, and where runtime security begins. Complete AI Runtime Security Guardian delivers the full spectrum of AIDR across the AI estate: data, models, prompts, agents, identities, infrastructure, and interactions. Protection extends from the endpoint to every surface where agents operate: cloud, SaaS, and browser. Only a single-sensor, unified architecture can cover this ground. With this release, Guardian introduces: AI's Cybersecurity Infrastructure Layer The Falcon platform is cybersecurity's infrastructure layer for AI adoption. Guardian is where that infrastructure meets the AI agent – securing every agent at runtime, across every surface where they operate. To learn more, read our blog and visit here .
