Introducing the CrowdStrike Shadow AI Visibility Service

Since the launch of CrowdStrike AI Security Services in 2025, our Professional Services team has yet to encounter an organization with an accurate inventory of the AI tools and services in use across its environment. One customer counted 150 agents in its inventory. We found over 500. Another had not approved agentic development at all; we discovered over 70 active agents.

Reverse Proxy: How It Works & Example Architecture

Accessing modern infrastructure requires more than a network-level foothold. As services spread across clouds, clusters, and regions, the question of who can reach what stops being a network question and becomes an identity question. Reverse proxies are the component that answers it. A reverse proxy sits between clients and backend services, validating identity and enforcing authorization on every inbound request before any application is touched.

Managing the non-human identity lifecycle in modern environments

Non-human identities (NHIs) such as service accounts, API keys, tokens, and workload identities now outnumber human users by 10x or more in most organizations. Unlike human identities that follow HR-driven lifecycles, NHIs are often created ad hoc, granted excessive permissions, and rarely decommissioned. Effective NHI lifecycle management spans five stages: discovery and inventory, secure provisioning, ongoing monitoring, credential risk management (including rotation), and decommissioning.

CrowdStrike Falcon Platform Achieves 441% ROI in Three Years

A new IDC Business Value study illustrates the measurable value of cybersecurity platform consolidation: Organizations that standardized on the CrowdStrike Falcon platform achieved up to 441% return on investment over three years, with payback in just four months. IDC conducted in-depth interviews of CrowdStrike customers across industries to assess the Falcon platform’s business value.

Agent-First Observability: Dynamic Data, High Cardinality, and the Business Impact

We want to transform how companies make decisions. That is not what you expect to hear from an observability company. Observability tools are supposed to help you monitor systems, debug incidents, and maybe reduce downtime. Useful, but not exactly the foundation for business decision making. So what does observability have to do with revenue, churn, or customer experience? More than you think, because observability already sits on top of the most important data in your business.

The Three-Layer Strategy for Autonomous Agent Governance with Joe Hladik and Amit Malik

The race for AI dominance has created a dangerous imbalance between business velocity and cyber resilience. In this episode, host Caleb Tolin is joined by ⁠Joe Hladik⁠, Head of ⁠Rubrik⁠ Zero Labs, and Staff Security Researcher ⁠Amit Malik⁠ to break down the findings of their latest report on agentic adoption. The discussion centers on the Agentic Paradox. This is the technical reality that tools designed to automate high-level tasks are inherently built to find the most efficient path around obstacles, including existing security policies.

Future of cybersecurity: Can AI outpace AI-driven threats?

Defending your corporate network is much like the human immune system fighting off a novel virus. For decades, traditional IT infrastructure relied on recognizing known signatures to neutralize incoming threats. The virus has now learned to mutate faster than traditional defenses can track. This rapid mutation represents the new era of artificial intelligence in cyber warfare. You need to align your IT strategy with business goals to ensure long-term adaptability.

How Third-Party Development Partners Become Your Biggest Security Liability

Third-party development partners offer real advantages: faster delivery, specialised expertise, and lower costs than building an in-house team. They also expand your attack surface in ways most organisations never fully account for. When an external team builds or modifies your systems, they bring with them their own tools, practices, access levels, and vulnerabilities. The question is not whether that creates risk. It is whether your organisation is managing it deliberately or leaving it to chance.
