Cyber security firm CrowdStrike has rolled out an agentic intelligence system for workflow automation alongside new features to accelerate remediation of critical vulnerabilities.
CrowdStrike has unveiled two new enhancements to its Falcon platform overnight at its Fal.Con event in Las Vegas, introducing Threat AI, the industry’s first agentic threat intelligence system, and Risk-based Patching with Falcon for IT to streamline vulnerability management.
Threat AI is designed to automate some of the most complex and time-consuming intelligence workflows, from malware analysis to proactive hunting. Built on CrowdStrike’s adversary intelligence courtesy of its Counter Adversary Operations team, the system deploys mission-ready agents that reason across data, identify patterns, and act decisively across the kill chain.
“Adversaries are weaponising AI to accelerate every stage of attacks – what once took months can now happen in seconds, collapsing the defender’s window of response,” Adam Meyers, head of Counter Adversary Operations at CrowdStrike, said in a 17 September statement.
“Threat AI is the intelligence arm of CrowdStrike’s vision to equip every security analyst with mission-ready agents that eliminate high-friction tasks better suited for machines, ushering in a new era of threat intelligence.”
The launch includes a Malware Analysis Agent for instant attribution and scaling defences across malware families, as well as a Hunt Agent for continuous environment-wide scans.
Future agents will address triage, correlation, and exposure mapping, while a new Chrome extension integrates adversary intelligence directly into analysts’ browsers for faster, in-context decisions.
Closing the patching gap
Alongside Threat AI, CrowdStrike is expanding into IT operations with Risk-based Patching.
Integrated with Falcon Exposure Management, this new feature prioritises vulnerabilities based on real-world attack paths and adversary activity, before applying AI-driven patching at scale.
By consolidating detection and remediation into one platform, CrowdStrike said it can eliminate longstanding silos between security and IT.
“Adversaries exploit known vulnerabilities within minutes, yet most organisations are slowed by silos between security and IT that delay fixes and leave dangerous gaps,” Elia Zaitsev, chief technology officer at CrowdStrike, said.
“With Falcon for IT Risk-based Patching, we unify teams and processes with a shared, risk-prioritised view so they know what to fix first – and can actually fix it. This is the last mile of risk reduction.”
