Compliance teams have control over approved corporate systems like enterprise software, managed databases, and internal applications. But they don’t have the same over what employees paste into ChatGPT, upload to Claude, or share with Gemini and other unauthorized AI tools.

You already know the immense value of open-source Zeek. It provides the absolute gold standard of network evidence, giving you the deep visibility required to defend your organization.

Security operations teams manage a high volume of signals, often across multiple tools. Analysts may triage detections in one system, document progress in another, and coordinate remediation elsewhere. As context becomes fragmented, response times slow and the risk of missed threats increases.

For two decades, VMware was the default answer for virtualization. It worked, it was well supported, and the commercial terms were predictable enough that infrastructure strategy could largely ignore the underlying platform and focus on workloads.

CrowdStrike is excited to announce Falcon OverWatch for Defender, a new offering that extends our elite managed threat hunting to Microsoft Defender environments. The need for proactive threat hunting is increasingly urgent as adversary operations evolve: 82% of intrusions observed in 2025 were malware-free, the CrowdStrike 2026 Global Threat Report revealed, and the fastest eCrime breakout time was a mere 27 seconds. Adversaries using AI increased their attacks 89% year-over-year.
