At Fal.Con Gov 2026, CrowdStrike is introducing new innovations to accelerate modernization and strengthen cyber defense of government systems, while helping agencies meet some of the most rigorous compliance standards within a FedRAMP-authorized environment. Cybersecurity is national security. Ransomware threatens public safety and continuity of operations. Supply chain compromise multiplies impact. Nation-state actors target critical infrastructure for strategic disruption.

Many IT professionals struggle to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into their existing environments. You often find expensive hardware trapped in isolated clusters or dedicated hosts. Your infrastructure team manages access through manual ticket queues, which leads to low utilization and frustrating bottlenecks for developers. When you don’t have a standardized way to share and monitor accelerator resources, every hardware change risks downtime for your critical applications.

The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) is the overarching agency that incorporates the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC), the government’s technical cybersecurity authority. In 2018, the ASD became a statutory agency, assuming responsibility for the Computer Emergency Response Team Australia and the Digital Transformation Agency.

CrowdStrike Falcon Platform for Government, our FedRAMP High authorized offering, has expanded to include CrowdStrike Falcon for XIoT. This addition delivers native XIoT visibility and protection through the CrowdStrike Falcon platform so government agencies can protect connected assets and critical infrastructure.

Attending Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026 in Barcelona was once again an incredible experience. Each year the event seems to evolve, and 2026 showcased just how quickly the telecom and cloud infrastructure landscape is changing. The show floor was packed, the conversations were engaging, and the innovations on display reinforced the pace at which our industry is moving.

When SOAR emerged around 2015, it was trying to solve a real problem: SOC analysts were drowning in manual, repetitive tasks across disconnected tools. SOAR promised to connect those tools, automate the workflows between them, and give analysts their time back. For a while, it mostly delivered. That era is long dead.

The cybersecurity landscape has fundamentally shifted in the last several years. Adversaries are no longer just using AI to draft phishing emails; they're deploying autonomous AI agents capable of executing end-to-end attack chains, from initial reconnaissance through lateral movement and data exfiltration. Anthropic's1 analysis of recent incidents indicates a rapid acceleration in attacker adoption of agentic workflows, dramatically shortening the time between initial access and impact.

In 2026, software development speed is an AI-solved problem. Yet, as AI-generated code volumes surge, organizations face a new kind of risk visibility gap. Developers are increasingly copying third-party snippets into their codebases—from both AI prompts and open-source software components—creating large security and compliance blind spots that lead to significant risks.
